Sandy's Death:
Tooth, Baby Tooth and Janet were in Jamie's house. Tooth was busy analysing the tooth that Jamie lost whilst Janet looked at the picture he drew of the day, she and Jack caused him to slide about in his sleigh.
"I wonder how that could have happened,"
"Oh that was actually me and Jack's fault," Janet awkwardly said to him. "You see we had caused some snow fun among this boy and his friends and we made him slide all over the place on his sledge. But a sofa banged into him and his tooth came out. Technically, Jack said he wouldn't get hurt but he did a bit causing his tooth to come out,"
Tooth just chucked a bit twiddling with a coin. He placed it under Jamie's pillow and then hovered over him as he was sleeping. "This is the part I liked most. Seeing the kids as they slept," he crossed his arms. "Why did I ever stop doing this?"
"Hm. looks a little different up close, huh?" Janet asked.
"Thanks for being here, Janet," Tooth said gratefully as he turned to him. "I'm sorry I couldn't help you or your brother with your memories," he placed a consoling hand on her shoulder.
"That's okay, Tooth. Jack and I can wait a bit longer," Janet consoled. "Besides Pitch can be defeated first before we get answers,"
Meanwhile outside Jack was looking at the moon. He personally alongside Janet held a grudge against the Man in the Moon. Why couldn't he tell earlier rather than 300 years after he lifted them from the lake.
Arya saw him and decided to give him company.
"Hey, you're okay?" she asked.
"I'm fine," he answered a bit glumly.
"I can leave you alone if you want,"
"No. I appreciate your company, I'm sorry if I was a bit grumbly,"
"That's fine. Please tell me. What's bothering you, Jack?"
Jack sighed for a bit and then gave an answer. "It's just I wish the Man in the Moon had told me and Janet about why he put us here. The only thing he told us 300 years ago, after he pulled us up from the lake were our names and that we were brother and sister. He never told us where we came from or why he saved us,"
"I know what it's like to not get answers sooner,"
"How?"
"When I was chosen years ago, the Man in the Moon ignored my questions for days whilst I saw the others getting believed in. But months later, when I wanted to give up on finding answers myself, his rays shone over me and I was given my medallion," she shoed Jack her medallion. "Once I had got that, he finally told me my purpose. He also explained that the reason he didn't tell me sooner was because I had try and understand his decision and think about why he chose before he could tell me. I bet that's what he expected for you and Janet,"
"But Janet and I don't even know what happened before we were risen from the lake. We didn't known his reason for saving us,"
"Once you and Janet get your memories, you'll find out," Arya assured.
There was a moment of smiles between them before it was interrupted by "What you two doing?"
They turned round and saw North and Sandy with questioning glances.
"We're just talking," Jack answered.
"You know why don't we just go inside?" Arya offered not wanting to be bought into an awkward situation. The guardians went inside and their eyes widened at seeing Tooth and Janet bonding.
"What's going on?" Jack asked curiously with crossed arms.
"Oh, Tooth and I were just talking," Janet assured.
"Mmmmm" Jack muttered stepping closer.
North was having trouble getting inside. Arya was trying to push him through the window until he finally managed to get in. "There you go North," she whispered going inside. "Why do you have be so big?" she asked a bit louder with Sandy in tow.
"I can't help it!" North retorted.
Tooth and Janet both went "Ssh!"
Tooth pointed at Jamie whilst Janet said, "Guys, be quiet or you'll waking him up?"
North whispered "Oh! What gives, slowpokes? How you feeling, Toothy?
"Believed in" Tooth answered feeling happy.
"Hah! That's what I want to hea,".
Bunny came up from a hole "Oh, I see how it is. All working together to make sure the rabbit gets last place,"
Tooth and North both went "Ssh!" silently but sternly.
"Uh, you think I need help to beat a bunny?" Jack showed his bag of teeth.
"Check out my one," Janet showed her bigger back. Jack's eyes widened.
"You two call yours bags bag'a choppers?" Bunny pulled out a bigger back "Now that's a bag'a choppers,"
"Guys, guys, this is about Tooth, it's not a competition - but if it was…" he dumped the biggest sack of teeth on the floor "I win! "YEE-HA!" he started danceing around with joy.
A light suddenly flashed on North's face.
"Oh no," North bluntly said.
Jamie gasped at the unexpected visitors in his room. "Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Sandman, the Wish Girls, the Tooth Fairy! I knew you'd come!"
"Surprise! We came!" Tooth chuckled.
"He can see us?" Jack asked.
"Most of us," Bunny answered.
Jamie tried to shine the light where Bunny was looking, but he sawing nothing.
Jack and Janet sighed.
"Ssh, you guys! He's still awake!" Tooth reminded everyone.
"Sandy, knock 'im out!" Bunny ordered.
Sandy pounds his fists together making Jamie look at him confused.
"With the dream sand, ya' gumbos!" Bunny explained exasperated that Sandy didn't get what he meant.
A Greyhound (Jamie's pet) just woke up and once its eyes met Bunny's, it growled like a wolf ready to catch prey.
"No stop, that's the Easter Bunny! What're you doing, Abby? Down!" he tried to calm her down but stroking her back but she was still snarly at the overgrown rabbit.
"Alright, nobody panic," Bunny untroubled everyone with his attempting words.
"But that's a, uhm, that's a greyhound. Do you know what greyhounds do to rabbits?" Janet rhetorically asked smiling since she knew the answer.
"Well I think it's a pretty safe bet he's never met a rabbit like me," Bunny stood aground not afraid of the dog that fed on rabbit. Arya eyed Sandy to prep a ball of Dream-sand which he did. "Six-foot-one, nerves of steel, Master of Tai Chi, and-" Bunny continued trying to assured everyone that everything was under control.
Jack looked Janet and she gave him wink. Jack winked back and then 'accidently' hit Jamie's alarm clock with his staff. It gave of an ear-piercing alarming noise that startled Abby. This was just what she needed to attack.
Bunny's eyes widened in terror "Crikee! Ahh!" He took off, bouncing around the room like an overgrown kangaroo.
"Stop! Wait! Slow down!" Jamie's commands didn't stop Abby.
Bunny running for his life accidently knocked Sandy off-balance and laughed nervously. "Woah ho ho! Sand-"
North shouted "Sandy!" when he realised the situation that Bunny was in being chased by Abby.
Sandman launches the ball. Unfortunately due to Abby pouncing on them, it went flying off course hitting both Tooth and Baby Tooth. They fell asleep dreaming about baby teeth.
"This thing's rabid! Get this dingo off me!" Bunny screamed but it was cut short by the ball hitting his head. He started dreaming about carrots. It next Arya who fell and dazed off about happiness.
Abby after that was hit and had a trance of bones.
The ball finally struck North as he attempted to leave through the window. "Candy canes..." North murmured drifting asleep. He fell on Jamie's bed making send Jamie bouncing into the air because of his huge weight.
The Sandman caught Jamie before jerking his head forward to dust some Dream-sand from his hair onto Jamie. He fell asleep like he was supposed to before.
Jack went "Whoops," seeing the effects on what his 'accident' had caused.
Janet started chuckling as she watched the dream candy canes and carrots merging with each other and playing about. "Oh I really wish I had a camera right now," Sandy gave her a sidelong glance.
Jack suddenly heard snorting and turned to see a Nightmare.
"Guys, a Nightmare!" he alerted. The Nightmare escaped from the window.
Jack and Janet realised they couldn't miss this chance to find Pitch. They started to pursue the Nightmare "Sandy, come on! We can find Pitch!" Jack called to him.
"The others will be okay!" Janet assured. "We can't miss this chance!"
Sandy gave one last look at their friends and joined them.
Jack, Janet and Sandman were flying after the Nightmares.
"Yes! Whoo-hoo-hoo! Whoo!" both Jack and Janet cheered chasing after two.
Sandman mounted one of the nightmares and with just a single touch of his hand, it was transformed into his own Dream-sand that formed a Manta-ray. He rode on it and flew in the air.
Jack and Janet were both still bounding after theirs. Just when they had the chance, they blasted out some ice and froze them to a rooftop from the alley below. "We got it!" Janet cheered and she and her brother fist-bumped each other. They jumped onto the roof and saw the nightmare partly frozen but still glued the ground unable to move.
"Sandy! Sandy, did you see that?" Jack called out to Sandy. "Hehehe! Look at this thing!"
"Frost Twins?" Pitch appeared behind from out his dark hiding place. He darted out of the way when Jack tried to shoot him with ice. "You know, for a neutral party, you two spend an awful lot of time with those weirdoes," he became visible to them again on the roof level above. "This isn't your fight, Jack and Janet,"
"You made it our fight when you harmed our friends and stole those teeth!" Janet shouted.
"Teeth? Why do you two care about the teeth?" Pitch asked confused with them but he noticed Sandman standing near him and jumped away a bit started. Sandy was looking cross as his eyebrows darkly frowned and his arms were crossed.
Pitch gave out a nervous laugh. "Now this is who I'm looking for,"
Sandy just unleashed sand whips at him but Pitch dodged every slash. He started fighting Sandy with his own weapon, a giant scythe made out of sand.
Jack and Janet were about to help but they ducked to avoid the swing slash of the scythe.
One of Sandy's whips managed to grab Pitch's wrist and he threw him into walls before making him plummet to the ground below. He fell on a car roof and landed with a thud in pain.
"Remind us not to get on your bad side," Jack advised Sandy as he and Janet showed their impressive admiration at Sandy for his skills. The three descend through the air to street level to teach a lesson to Pitch.
"Okay, easy!" Pitch attempted backing away from the three. "You can't blame me for trying, Sandy! You don't know what it's like to be weak, and hated! It was stupid of me, to mess with your dreams. So, I'll tell you what. You can have 'em back," that last sentence he said clearly and right after that Nightmares surrounded Jack, Janet and Sandman.
"You Sandy... take the ones on the left, Janet and I will take the ones on the right?" Jack awkwardly asked Sandy.
The Nightmares neighed angrily; a moment of silence was amidst until Pitch commanded "Boo!" the Nightmares started to attack.
Jack and Janet started blasting them with their ice magic whilst Sandman start to fight them with their whips. Meanwhile North's sleigh passes overhead, crashing into things. Apparently, North, Tooth, Arya and Bunny were still dozing off due to the Dream-sand.
They jolted awake when the sleigh banged and grazed against a roof spiral. North tiredly focused on driving the sleight.
Arya's eyes widened when she saw the Frost Twins and Sandy in trouble. "Guys, the others are in trouble!"
Back below, Sandy used his sand to burst into the air like a water-spout, dragging Jack and Janet with him by their hoods. He then tossed Jack and Janet away to keep them safe from the Nightmares surrounding him.
Jack and Janet fought with their powers through the air.
Tooth took off with this wings and threw several of his feather daggers at the Nightmares knocking them out of the sky. In addition, he went spiraling through them with his wings and his sharp sword.
Pitch laughed as he directed the Nightmares into battle.
Bunny and Arya jumped off the sleigh. As they dived through the air, they attacked the Nightmares flying near them.
Once they landed, they took care of more of them before jumping back into the air to catch the wide, long legs of the sleight and climb on. North was having killing all the nightmares that stood in the sleigh's way with his sword.
Two Nightmares came after Jack, but they just drops through the air causing them run into each other. Another Nightmare attacked and banged into the twins, Janet was alright thanks to her wings but Jack lost his staff. He started plummeting down.
"Jack!" Janet screamed. She went into a falcon dive with her wings folded in. she managed to catch her twin's staff and reached him and gave him back the staff allowing him to fly again. They flew to the back fin of the sleigh in front of Bunny. "You two might wanna duck," Bunny advised.
The twins turned and saw a nightmare hurling at them but Bunny's boomerang comes careening back through a Nightmare and he caught it out of thin air, grinning.
Sandy was all alone on his cloud, surrounded by a tornado of black sand that he kept whipping at to no avail.
North sat back down on the sleigh again to take control.
"Guys, Sandy's surrounded by too many nightmares!" Janet shirked.
Arya looked up and her eyes widened. "She's right. Sandy needs our help,"
Instantly, North steered the sleigh to go upwards to reach Sandy.
Standing on a cloud of his nightmare sand, Pitch saw a chance to have the Earth be rid of the Guardian of Dreams.
He pulled the string of an invisible bow, using an arrow-head shaped out of black sand. He ensured it would accurately hit Sandy. He realised it and it shot through the air and hit Sandy between the shoulder-blades. Jack:
"Nooo!" Jack and Janet shouted. They rocketed ahead of the sleigh to try and save Sandy.
Pitch laughed very coldly as Sandman weakly turned to face him.
"Don't fight the fear, little man," Pitch goaded before laughing some more.
Tooth and Arya attempted to fly up and help their friends but Nightmares surrounded them in mid-air as well as the sleigh.
"Hurry guys! Hurry!" North shouted up to Jack and Janet.
"I'd say sweet dreams, but there aren't any left," Pitch darkly fare welled to Sandman.
The Sandman stood up and closed his eyes. The swirling black sand closes in on his glowing yellow light, snuffing it out like a candle.
"Sandy?" North gasped.
"No," Arya gasped with shock.
"No... NOOO!" Jack and Janet raced towards Pitch; he held out his arms and a ginormous swarm of black sand was realised but halts in mid-air as he looks at the horde of Nightmares. They close in on him, but from where the Frost were. They used Jack's staff and Janet's medallion to create bright blue light that pushes back against the Nightmares. They clutched it forwards causing their blue ice orb to freeze the giant swarm of Nightmares. It exploded into black sand like fireworks over the city, knocking Pitch away with a scream.
The Guardian's eyes widened at seeing Jack and Janet plummet from the sky. "Jack! Janet!" North screamed in fear for them.
Tooth caught Jack by the arms and settled him on the sleigh meanwhile Arya dove down after Janet.
Pitch was still falling from the sky but he noticed Arya diving down to capture Janet.
He reached his hand forward and a huge, long hand of nightmare dust grasped Arya's throat ripping the medallion off it. "No!" Arya shouted at seeing her precious medallion being taken. She wanted to go after it but if she did, Janet would die from the fall. She continued diving down after her. They were just so close to the ground so she grabbed Janet when she had the chance and created a giant force filed around herself and Janet.
They crashed with a large thud into the woods.
North made the sleigh land on the ice lake. He, Bunny, Tooth and Jack rushed to try and find the girls.
They came to a big sector of frozen grass and saw the force field containing the girls. It blinked out like a light bulb being switched off and they saw the girls lying down on the floor.
"Janet! Arya!" Jack rushed forward.
Janet's eyes opened slowly; she breathed hardly in pain.
"Janet, you're okay," Jack pulled her into his arms and hugged her.
"I'm okay," she assured. "I'm just tired and my wings hurt. What happened?"
"Arya dived down and saved you,"
"Arya?" Janet's eyes widened at seeing Arya unconscious. "Is she…?"
"No, she's alright," Jack assured checking her pulse. "She's just unconscious. She must have used so much magic to save you and herself,"
"Janet, are you alright?" Tooth kneeled beside her once he, Bunny and North had rushed to them.
"I'm okay," she assured.
"How did you two do what you guys did?"
"We didn't know we could," Jack answered.
"I'm so sorry we couldn't reach Sandy in time," Janet apologized.
The Guardians kneeled their heads down in sadness instantly remembering that Sandy had just been killed. Tooth gave Janet a hand in walking back to the sleigh whilst Jack carried Arya in his arms.
North made another portal in the sky and he flew the sleigh through it back to the North Pole.
Meanwhile on the ground, Pitch watches the sleigh disappear into the portal.
Pitch laughed. "Finally! Someone who knows how to have a little fun!" he looked at Arya's medallion. "Without her medallion, she'll be powerless to overcome my nightmares and soon she'll fade away like Sandy," he placed the medallion around his neck and the jeweled encrusted inside it turned as dark as night.
