Chapter 2: Dreams & Memories Vs. Madness

"Thanks Sandy" Tooth said before being move by Baby Tooth.

Tooth and Sandy turned around to see someone floating next to them.

Sandy made a question mark in his head.

Tooth nodded and asked: "Who are you?"

The person looked at them and smiled.

"Hello Guardians. Let me introduce myself, my name is Madness."

"Madness?" Tooth asked confused.

"Yes my darling Toothiana." Madness said with a grin.

"You know my name?" Tooth asked in shock.

"I know everything about you and your little friends. Right, Sanderson?" Madness said looking at Sandy.

The Sandman stared at him and started forming his whips making Madness laughed.

"Hahahaha, you Guardians are impressive bunch but you know you can defeat me, Sanderson." Madness said with a grin in his face.

Before Sandy attack him, Tooth asked: "What do you want?"

Madness stare at Tooth and smiled. "I'm going to finish what Pitch Black never could accomplish. I'm going to get rid of you guys ones and for all."

Sandy made a question mark and Madness asked: "How? You asked Sanderson. Easy. I'm going to erase every bit of hope, memory, dream, fear and wonder from each person in the world. They are gonna be like my little toys after I finish with them. You guys can feel it, right? As we speak more and more children and adults are turning into my little toys with no emotion what so ever."

"We are going to stop you!" Tooth said taking her swords out.

"Hahahaha. Are you sure? Look at yourself the more time passed the weaker you guys get. Which means more toys and less believers."

In the moment he closed his eyes, in that second, a whips tighten around him and slammed him into a building.

"Hahahaha. You Guardians like to play." Madness smiled and took out a Katana which collide with Tooth's sword.

"I'm the Guardian of Memories and I'm going to destroy you." Tooth said with serious look on her face.

"Don't promise something you can't keep." Madness said with a grin and pushed her off.

Sandy came flying, shooting multiple dream sand missiles that Madness slide in half. The dream sand started scattering around him and attacking in his blind spots.

Madness grinned. "You Guardians know how to have fun."

At that moment Madness turned in to a dark cloud and disappear.

"I think he gave up. What do you think Sandy?" Tooth asked.

Sandy look confused like something is not right here. Then Madness' presence was back.
The two Guardians put their guard on until they saw a little girl in the ceiling of a building across from them.

The girl smiled and created a katana and she said: "What happen you guys tired of playing?"

And with that the girl flew toward Tooth crashing swords with her.

"Madness, you coward! Stop using their body!" Tooth said

"Hahahaha. But I want to play with my toys" Madness said.

And with that a lot of kids and adults appeared around them each caring their own weapon. Their eyes were wide and their mouths were in a line. Their look was an emotionless one. They started charging at the Guardians and attacking them. The only thing Sandy and Tooth could do was protected themselves and blocked every attack without hurting the humans they cared and protect each day.

Meanwhile Baby Tooth was flying at full speed trying to find North, Bunnymund or Jack.

"Please Baby Tooth, hurry!" Tooth told her before the battle began. Baby Tooth nodded and flew to find their friends. As she flew, she's started to feel it they are getting weaker and weaker each minute. Madness is turning more and more people into his toys.

Sandy created shields to block any child or adult that came charging. Tooth used her swords to block every child that attacked her and then she saw him sitting at the edge of one of the building. He was smiling controlling every movement like a puppet master. Tooth nodded at Sandy which he smiled and started to create a ball of dream sand around Tooth and him. Moments later the ball exploded pushing every adult and child away, the closes to the ball finally falling asleep.

Tooth took that moment to charge at Madness. Madness noticed her advances and used his toys to attack her. One of the adult swungs his swords at Tooth but she dodged it. She was getting close to Madness and she kept dodging every attack.

Tooth was finally in front of him, Madness' eyes were wide.

"Die!" Tooth said with a swing of her sword.

But the sword never made it to him. She was slice in half. Her own eyes widen and her swords falling into the ground. She looked back at her attacker and her eyes widen.

"You have been a bad girl, Toothiana." Said Rashmi and Haroom.

"Mom…Dad…?" said Tooth in disbelief.

"You deserve to die" and with that Rashmi and Haroom swung their sword to her.

"Aaaaaaaaaah" Tooth screamed. She was shaking.

It was an illusion created by Madness but it affected her in more ways that one. She could keep herself together and Madness was enjoying every second of it. He tried to reach for her but Sandy used one of his whips and flew with her to the sky, trying to get as far away from Madness as possible.

Tooth fainted seconds later but she still was shaking. Sandy looked back and saw him he was coming for him. Sandy feared that they will gonna end like the children and adults of this city. Madness appeared in front of him and Sandy was exhausted to fight him and caring Tooth. Madness smiled and tried to reach for them.

In that moment three objects came flying next to Madness. The objects were eggs?

BOOOM! The three eggs exploded, sending Madness crashing down to a building.

Madness looked around to find the source and saw him. Bunnymund!

"Hello mate!" Bunnymund said with a grin.

Madness charged at him but was send back crashing to the building ones came out of the building ones more seeing this time the one and only Jackson Overland Frost.

Madness was furious and came flying toward them, swords at hand. But his swords crashed with the swords of the one and only Nicholas St. noticed even when Tooth and Sandy were weakened. He couldn't reach them with the other guardians here. So the only to do right now was retreat.

"I have so much fun with you two today but I think our fun has been cut short. Until we meet again Toothiana, Sanderson…" and with a grin on his face he said "E. Aster Bunnymund, Jackson Overland Frost and Nicholas St. North. We should play someday." And with that he was gone.

North looked at Sandy and Tooth. Both of them looked exhausted and weak. He nodded to the other two and they helped Tooth and Sandy into the sleigh and we a shake of a snow globe they made their way to the North Pole.

At the North Pole, Tooth was laid in a bed with Sandy laid in another one across from her. She has still not awaken since her battle with Madness and Sandy still weak started to created images to showed them of the events of the battle.

The Guardians told Sandy to rest while they made their way to the Globe Room. When they arrive, they saw it. The Man in the Moon was sending them a message they all ran and gathered around the moon light that was there.

"Manny old friend, what would you like to tell us?" said North.

In response, the beam of moonlight grew brighter before shrinking to a thinner ray of light. At the center of the circle, the light illuminated an ornate symbol on the floor. The symbol rose out of the ground, revealing the large gem on top of a pillar.

"He has chosen a new Guardian!" North said in shock.

"Another one?" asked Jack

"Maybe this guy is stronger that we thought" Respond North.

"Please not the groundhog. Please not the groundhog" Bunny mumbled.

"Scared Cottontail?" Jack teased.

"Shut up Snowflake" Bunny teased back.

A sudden bright light flashed through the room. Above the glowing stone on the pillar, a holographic photo appeared.
All of them looked in amazement seeing that face.

"It's that…?" Bunny started but was cut short by Jack.

"Jamie!" Jack smiled. Still shock but excited to see his best friend being chosen as a Guardian.

North smiled and said: "Now we do party for him".

"Wooh, wooh, wooh. Hold on mate. We have a problem first of all. We need to stop that guy." Bunny said.

"Don't be a joy killer, Bunny. North! I'm going back to Burgess to tell Jamie." Jack said making his way out.

"Be careful Jack!" North called out and hearing "yeah, yeah, yeah." from Jack.

North looked at the Globe. They were still a lot of shinning light but a whole city has turned dark.

The beam of moonlight focused on a spot on the floor in the center of North and Bunnymund. Then the light shifted, darkening to shadows until it revealed a silhouette of the person they haven't seeing in a while. The two Guardians continue to stare in disbelief and at that moment North and Bunnymund knew that they will need also the help of this figure.

The figure of the Nightmare King, Pitch Black.
