"Hey blondy I have a feeling that your wind trick-thingy worked…" Hiccup and Rapunzel heard the yell carried across to them by the wind and after sharing an uneasy look Hiccup urged Toothless towards the direction Jack's voice had come from with Rapunzel in tow.
They found the winter spirit perched atop the very tip of Big Ben, glowering down at an angry red-headed spirit.
"How dare ye!" Again Hiccup and Rapunzel exchanged looks before darting forward ready to intervene in the event of a fight. This prospect became very likely as Jack's hand tightened around his staff and in response the girl drew from a sheath on her back a large, old fashioned bow and without a glance at the weapon notched an arrow to it and aimed it at Jack's head.
Frost was beginning to creep downwards from Jack's staff, winding around the old building and creeping towards the Scottish spirit.
It was at this point that Hiccup decided that unless Manny was ok with just having three seasonal spirits, he should split the two up.
"Okay that's enough both of you stop. Now!" When he was ignored by the two furious spirits he leant forward and whispered to his mount.
"Okay Toothless lets give them something to stare at." Hiccup could feel a deep rumbling vibrating through Toothless as he prepared to release a powerful blast of fire.
Toothless opened his mouth and a jet of flame shot out, lighting up the sky and causing many Londoners far below to gaze skyward in wonder.
"Thanks buddy." Hiccup smiled as his dragon let out a self-satisfied puff of smoke.
"Seriously Hiccup, winter spirit here, next time give us a warning before you try to roast us."
"Scared of a little heat are ye?" Hiccup sighed as the rival spirits glared at each other again.
"Ok enough, you two don't like each other we get that but right now we have a bigger problem, Manny called us all together for a reason and now that we are all gathered he should tell us what why he gathered us." The four spirits looked expectantly skyward but the light from the sun prevented them from catching a glimpse of their distant creator.
When there was no reply from the remote deity the others immediately looked to Hiccup for answers. A silent but mutual agreement had placed Hiccup in the position of leader.
"Yea we should probably wait until nightfall before demanding answers… meet back here at midnight?"
The four agreed then with a rush of winds each took off to do their separate jobs in the countries that needed them.
Little did they know that a pair of intelligent but cruel had been watching them as they talked atop of Big Ben.
"Well my dear, what are they planning?" Another pair of eyes joined the first, this pair also gleamed with intelligence but their colouring was a brilliant golden with pupils as dark as the midnight sky.
"The have found the fourth and now they wait for the Man in the Moon to instruct them on what they have to do next, they are meeting here again at midnight."
Pitch Black chuckled and the figure beside him joined in, their slightly insane laughter echoing through London streets.
"When they return here tonight we shall be waiting and you can have your girl and I shall have my revenge on Frost."
Pitch formed an image from dark sand, a young boy side by side with a girl, then with a cruel smirk he crushed the sand-figures in his fist.
Jack flew over Russia spreading snow as he went and waving to an occasional believer, but his mind was far away. It was back in London, reliving the time spent with his fellow seasonal spirits.
He had met Merida a few times before and he had glimpsed Rapunzel a few times but he had never gone to speak to her and the only times he had spoken to Merida had been whenever they had traded insults as they travelled from one country to another. Hiccup, though, he had never met. He had heard of him of course the seasonal spirit who rode on a large, black 'thing' but no he had never met him in the flesh, until a few days back.
Why now did Manny want the seasonal spirits together, he had never given a sign that he cared before but now he wanted them all in the same country!
Jack sighed and shook himself from his confused thoughts before looking around him. Night had fallen a few hours back and it was only a short while until the proper night-time, already the moon was appearing in the sky lighting up the way.
"Hey wind, take me to London!" The invisible entity eagerly complied and Jack laughed aloud as he felt the familiar joy of flying.
Soon the bright lights of London appeared and the large outline of Big Ben appeared in the horizon and Jack shot towards it, spotting the dark shape that was Toothless and he could just make out the much smaller figure on his back that was Hiccup.
With a whisper to the wind Jack shot forward, gaining speed and overtaking Toothless easily, the Night Fury didn't like that and with a small blast of fire the dragon sped up and the two spirits and the dragon raced to Big Ben.
Rapunzel stood awkwardly beside the Scottish spirit who just glared ahead into the darkness.
"They should be here by now." Rapunzel couldn't stand the silence and so broke in a way that she hoped would prompt the other girl into speaking.
"Mmm" The response from Scottish girl wasn't exactly what she wanted but it was better than silence.
The silence continued for several more minutes before Rapunzel again decided to break it.
"You know we don't know anything about each other, all I know about Hiccup is that he is the spirit of autumn and he rides a dragon all I know about you is that you are the summer spirit, maybe while we are waiting for the boys we could get to know each other a little…" Rapunzel trailed off getting no answer.
The silence came back again as the two spirits stood together.
"Merida DunBroch, firstborn of the Clan DunBroch." Merida spoke this proudly and well, as though used to having to recite it.
"I'm Rapunzel and this rascal is my chameleon Pascal." Rapunzel beamed at Merida glad that finally she was getting somewhere with the Scottish spirit.
"If you don't mind me asking, how old are you, I mean how long have you been a spirit?"
Merida took a short while to reply and Rapunzel was about to repeat the question when the summer spirit spoke.
"I forget exactly how old, but I am about six hundred years old give or take a few decades."
Rapunzel struggled to understand Merida's thick Scottish accent but after she had deciphered the words her mouth dropped open.
"Six hundred! And I thought I was old at two hundred and thirty."
"That's nothing, I am three hundred and eighteen and Hiccup here is nearing one thousand."
Rapunzel and Merida spun around with Merida loading her bow and Rapunzel drawing her frying pan.
"Whoa whoa, just us, chill." Jack held up his arms in a submissive position and the girls sheathed their weapons (and kitchen utensils.)
The four stared at the just visible glow of the moon and when nothing amazing happened they all looked to Hiccup.
"So we just sit around and wait for MIM to send us a message which he may or may not show us."
"Yea something like that."
Toothless curled around the tower and Hiccup sat next to his dragon. While the two girls remained standing, keeping watch for any signs that MIM was trying to communicate with them.
The four spirits and one dragon settled down to wait for a message they weren't sure they were going to get.
Meanwhile far below them a certain bogeyman crept out of the shadows and stared up at the distant shapes perched atop of the iconic landmark.
"Are you ready to get your revenge?" Pitch turned to the woman beside him and all he could see from beneath the darkness of her cloak was a merciless smile.
"Oh yes, i have been ready for several years."
Pitch smiled then summoned his small army of nightmares from the shadows and once he and his companion were mounted on the largest of the nightmares they charged towards the unaware group of immortal teenagers.
It was Toothless who became aware of the imminent danger first. The Night Fury's head shot up and a growl became to rumble deep in his chest.
His rider sat up, wary now and cast his eyes around looking for whatever had startled his dragon.
"Hiccup what's wrong?" Jack's hand tightened unconsciously around his staff as Hiccup prepared to mount his dragon with a worried look.
Merida had her bow up and ready to fire while Rapunzel lifted her frying pan, hoping that she looked threatening.
"I don't know what it is but Toothless is bothered by something and I have a feeling that something isn't right."
The four spirits prepared to fight but when nothing appeared they started to relax and this was when the swarm of nightmares rushed at them.
After a moment of shock and mild panic the four spirits began to fight. Jack with frost and well aimed kicks, Merida with her arrows, Hiccup with Night Fury fire and Rapunzel with a frying pan and an angry chameleon.
Two figures went unnoticed in the chaos. The first was a tall slim man who clung to the shadows, and a woman in a hooded cloak.
They watched in silence as the four fought back but once it became obvious that the spirits were beating the nightmares the took action.
They silently crept closer to their targets and with a wave of his hand Pitch commanded the shadows to wrap around the winter spirit and his spring companion.
Jack felt his air supply being cut of and instinctively kicked out trying to free himself from the darkness that surrounded him. His leg touched something and he heard a squeak before he was kicked in return.
Jack felt only the slightest bit of relief at the knowledge that he wasn't alone in the suffocating darkness. This comforting thought was his last before he slipped into a nightmare-filled sleep.
Not a great cliffie i know but oh well...
Hope you all enjoyed :D
