"You also remember the good memories" Bunny whispered.

"Whoo! Good job Cottontail" Ice cheered mockingly.

"You mean everything. Our good memories, our time together, our laughs, you remember it all?" Tooth quietly whispered.

"I'm afraid so mom" Ice said. He came out from the clouds grinning manically.

"I remember everything. I remember when you officially became my family. I remember when you all became my so-called-family. You keep saying I'm not your Jack. Well, I still am the Winter Spirit that you all loved. I am not Jack anymore, but I still am the one that you spent all of your time with. It was probably the biggest waste of time in history. But, if you want to have a fight,"

He pulled out the black orb from his jacket.

"Let's fight."

With that, he threw the orb down, the force smashing it to pieces. When that happened, dozens of nightmares came out and started attacking the Guardians. Ice put frost in the nightmares making them tougher.

As Ice had predicted, the guardians sliced through them pretty quickly. However, it still kept them occupied. Taking matters into his own hands, he jumped on the sleigh and battled along with his nightmares.

Bunny noticed and turned to face him. Ice made a mock-scared face then smirked. He gestured Bunny to bring it on.

It was quite a fight, neither one of them seemed to be able to land a strike.

That is until Ice knocked Bunny down, and rose his hand with a dagger in it. Luckily, Bunny was able to push him off and punched him in the face before he could land another blow. The hit didn't hurt Ice but it did temporarily stun him.

But before Bunny make another move, Ice's face took a look of utter hurt and betrayal. The look stunned Bunny for only a moment but that was enough. Ice's face quickly changed and he sent an ice blast at Bunny, the force knocking him to the end of the sleigh.

"I thought you said you loved me and would never hurt me" Ice said sadly, though his face showed he didn't really care.

"That was before" Tooth said stepping up to Ice.

"Before what?" Ice taunted.

"Before you became… this!" Tooth snapped.

"So? I'm still me you know. Ha. Some mom you are. You can't do one thing right. You promised you'd always have time for me but you know you have better things to do right now."

Tooth's face turned hurt and Ice kicked her in the stomach causing her to reel back. He then froze her wings.

Ice turned to North. "And you. Making toys with you was one of the biggest wastes of my life. You talk too much and your presents stink. I can't believe I called you my father once. You promised you'd always make me feel safe and loved but I certainly feel no love from or for you right now."

Norths face was still expressionless but Ice could see the agony in his eyes. But before North could react Ice froze his hands and feet.

Ice turned to Bunny who had stood back up.

"Don't even get me started on you. Worst. Brother. Ever. You were always a fail even as a family member."

He turned at Sandys direction. "Finally, you. Start talking. You are so positive. Giving kids dreams that will never happen, etcetera. My 'dream' of having a decent uncle is gone."

"You wonder why I do this." Ice continued. "Easy. You only wanted me for power. Now that that power is against you, you are trying to bring me down. You wouldn't treat me well even if I was the same. You never cared. If you had, you would have made a good family. But you didn't. Worst decades ever."

Before he could continue his insults, Sandy took action and placed the stone on Ice's head and within seconds, the Nightmare Prince was completely unconscious.

Sandy looked around at his fellow Guardians. Every one of them were stiff and had hurt expressions that were badly masked by looks of determination and bravery.

"Thanks mate." Bunny said gratefully giving Sandy a small smile. But as Sandy took a closer look at Bunny's face, he saw the Pooka's eyes were a little watery. He noticed that North and Tooth also had slightly misty eyes.

"Yeah. Thanks Sandy." Tooth said. "We owe you one."

North nodded and smiled. "She's right, old friend. You saved us."

Sandy smiled at them all in return. He then turned to look at the unconscious Nightmare Prince and silently sighed.

Tooth slowly approached Ice and kneeled down next to him. She stroked his shadow streaked hair out of his face. "Oh Jack" she whispered.

Bunny couldn't look at it too long. "We should get him to Antarctica." He said firmly. Tooth sighed and picked Ice up.


When Ice opened his eyes the first thing he noticed was the rough surface against his body. The next thing he noticed was the cold, chilly air. One his senses came back completely, he finally noticed his surroundings and the four guardians looking at him sadly.

"What have you done to me?" Ice demanded.

The Guardians were silent until Tooth spoke up. "You are in Antarctica. The kids are safer this way. Everyone is."

Ice glared at her. "I knew you would do something like this. You were never my family. You never cared."

"I do not know where you got that" North said. "We loved you. You were one of us."

Ice was silent. "What happens now?"

Tooth took a breath. "You will stay here. Thanks for the memories… Jack."

"I hate you" Ice whispered, his voice full of hatred. "I hate you!"

And the Guardians knew by way his voice was seething and eyes were angry that he meant it. He hated them and would never love them again. His voice was getting louder and holding more hate and venom with every word.

Slowly, the Guardians turned around and walked to the sleigh.

"I HATE YOU!" Ice was screaming now.

Bunny dared to look back. For a second -just a second- he didn't see the Nightmare Prince. He saw the winter spirit he had come to love as a brother. The boy who looked at them with so much sorrow before he was corrupted. The mischief maker who loved to prank and worry him. The happy teen who was somehow in that terrible state of mind.

Ice's yells brought him back.

"I HATE YOU!" he screamed, "I HATE YOU ALL SO MUCH!"

Surprising even himself, Bunny hopped off the sleigh and approached Ice, stopping when he was only a few feet away from the Nightmare Prince.

"And we will always love you Frostbite" he said softly, "Always, No Matter What"

The End


(Shuffles nervously.) So... Like the ending? Very angesty. AAAAAAAH (runs from burning hot rocks) WAIT WAIT! THERE WILL BE A SEQUEL! I don't know when it will come but... it will come. So please don't kill me. If you do, you will never know what happens next!

I decided to end it like this because I wanted to make this different. Most Dark! Jack stories end with him being turned back to the point where it just sounds too predictable. And I'm pretty sure if I used the ring to turn him back, everyone would have seen it coming. Who saw this ending coming?

Thanks to all of those who have faved, followed , and reviewed. Your support kept me going through this whole story. Please keep an eye out for the sequel and the many future stories to come(Most will be about Jack and Bunny). Thanks a bundle! Please Review! And remember, Kill the writer, kill the sequel! Until next time Flowers ;)

P.S this is slightly edited.

Kittentje: I guess it does, doesn't it? I also own all of the Guardians of Childhood books (The last one is yet to come out) and after rereading them all about Pitch's corruption, there was nothing in there about him not remembering the good memories. So I'm just assuming he does :) They are really good books I hope you enjoy them!
