A/N: Okay, so yeah, start of the climaxes. This is almost done. Two more chapster to go after this, the it's 'A Viking and The Frost' turn to shine. So you know what to do, R&R
Rescue
Through a trail of black sand from the remains of the tent, the guardians found a hole, which they immediately suspected as Pitch's hideout. Of course, Tooth wasn't too eager to go charging in. And North wouldn't mind, but he too big a man. Oh, he could fit no problem, he could even fit chimneys, it was part of his magic. But he was too conspicuous and no doubt Pitch would immediately catch his prescence. Sandy was all ready to go, but North said he needed back up.
"I'm up for it, mate." Bunny stepped forward. "Come on Sandy, let's go. I can't wait to give Pitch a real whooping."
North blocked his way. "Whoa, whoa. We are not here to fight Pitch just yet. First priority is Jack so he can save Hiccup," He huffed. "Bunny, do not make situation harder than it already is."
"Great," Bunny groaned. "I find that showpony and don't get to beat Pitch up?" He complained. North glared, Tooth crossed her arms. They had no time for this.
"All right, all right. I leave that ratbag alone for now," Bunny grumbled, turning around. A tap came to his shoulder. He turned around. "What? I said I'll leave him."
North held up his snowglobe. "Just precussion."
"Oh, strewt."
Sandy and with a tinier Bunny sneaked through the dark pathway until finally reaching Pitch's palace. Bunny would've been wary and cautious, his nerves acting up… If he wasn't ticked off with North turning him into a tiny rabbit.
He understood the necessity; less height meant less chance of being sighted, but that didn't mean he had to like it.
"When this is all over, I'm gonna tie that big red guy up and have him ride down my bottomless tunnel till he begs for mercy." Bunny muttered, Sandy nudged him to be quiet. "Yeah, ain't that easy for you."
Sandy glared and lifted up a ball shape sand, as if threatening to put him to sleep. That was the only way to ever make immortal beings fall asleep and be tired about it.
"Okay, okay. I'll quiet down." Bunny hopped along with Sandy. They stopped when the got to a celebration hall where fearlings were dancing, if horses could dance, and he also saw Daggur having his fill with a mug of mead, laughing like a lunatic, staying at Pitch's ride hand.
Bunny grumbled, wishing he had his boomerang to smack that teenager one. He remembered he was last seen with Hiccup before they came and it was no doubt that he caused Hiccup's fear to build up. Sandy looked at Bunny and rolled his eyes, knowing what the Bunny was thinking and thought that North had the right idea to turn him into a smaller bunny.
Suddenly, they heard Pitch speak.
"Well, isn't this such fun." Pitch laughed with satisfaction.
Daggur belched. "Shame that frostbutt or whatever you call him can't join the party."
"Indeed," Pitch stood up. "What a pity he can't take part of the celebration. Come, we must go to the dungeon and cheer him up."
Daggur grinned and followed him, knowing they were going to do anything but cheer him up. And if there's one thing he loved better than destruction, it's bringing misery to the others.
Bunny and Sandy looked at each other, hearing the conversation. They nodded and stealthily followed Pitch and Daggur.
The winter spirit all bounded by chains on his wrists and ankles huffed dejectedly, looking down to his feet. He'd be out of here now if he just had his staff. But the best he could do was create the shape of Hiccup's form with frost patterns. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a door opened, and remained downcast. There was no point, he couldn't attack whoever it was, and he knew it was Pitch, if he was binded. And without his staff, it'd be futile.
"Come now, Frost, why such melancholy?" Pitch grinned. Jack growled, finally looking up to see a stranger boy with the dark man, using a dagger like a toothpick.
Daggur shrugged. "It's a bit weird that I'm watching you talk to a non-existant space, but whatever."
So he can't see me huh? Good, I wouldn't like such an ugly person to be able to. Jack huffed.
Pitch ignored Daggur and continued. "A wondrous future awaits you, you, the destined hero of typically happy ending."
Jack just had enough of this nonsense. "What's your problem?! Let me go!"
"Apologies, but I simply can't have you ruin my plans. Henrik would be simply dead and wouldn't even need your help."
Jack narrowed his eyes, this was not making sense to him. What does Pitch Black want with him? And who on earth was Henrik? He just wanted see Hiccup back at the cove...
Pitch realized his confusion, rolling his eyes. "The one who calls himself Hiccup is Henrik, fool. Thanks to my fearlings, he is now dead."
"Yeah, idiot." Daggur laughed, he couldn't see the spirit but knew it could hear him. "He's such a cutie, too. Even moreso the way I kiss his freckled skin and the noises he made trying to get me to stop..."
Jack widened his eyes, and his heart felt like it was torn. Then, he felt anger building up inside him and struggled against the binds. "YOU BASTARDS! I'll kill you!"
"Okay, okay, calm down Frost. He's not exactly dead, if you come and give up your immortality to revive him, he'll wake up from what Manny calls a deep slumber."
Jack's eyes widened, for once grateful for the moon. He smiled softly... This was my purpose, I knew it had something to do with Hiccup! It made sense, why else would he be the first person to see me the last fifty years?
Then, Pitch narrowed his eyes, smiling slightly. "Sadly, I'm not letting you out of this cell till the next, I don't know," He looked up as if in thought. "Fifty years? And, oh, think of it, the forever young spirits finds his love reduced to nothing but a wrinkled, senile old human!"
The spirit growled and struggled out of his binds harder.
"And prove that it is so, for you to be forever alone!" Pitch laughed harder he didn't hear and accented voice cussing him before being abruptly silent.
Daggur flinched, looking behind him but seeing nothing. He raised a brow suspicously.
Pitch turned to Daggur, and walked towards the door. "Come Daggur, let us leave our little hero with this happy thoughts." They head out the door as Jack continued to struggle. "For the first time in thirteen years, I can finally sleep well." Pitch sighed as he made his way through the halls, Daggur still looking around suspicously.
Jack continued pacing around his cell, trying to pull out of the binds. Hiccup needs me! I have to save him, damn the Pitch! He looked out the barred window and frowned to the moon. "Please. I'll never ask for anything again, just get me out of this one!" He begged helpless, collapsing to his knees. "Please... Let me get to Hiccup..."
Suddenly, he felt his binds give way and he felt light. He blinked, looking down to his feet and hands.
"Huh?" He touch the substance that were probably once his bindings. "Is this... sand?"
"Yeah, thank Sandy so we can get out of here already."
Jack jumped in shocked, turning around to see a small portly man and a tiny bunny who had his arms crossed. He looked up back to the moon, raising a brow. "Not what I expected, but, okay. I can take the hint." He turned back to his two saviours. "Thanks, I'm guessing you're, like... The sandman? One of the Big four?"
Sandy nodded, smiling. Holding his hand out, Jack shook it.
"Don't talk much, huh?" Jack smirked. "Well, Jack Frost, nice to meet you. Thanks for the save," He looked down to the bunny who cleared his throat, feeling neglected. "And who's this cute little guy?"
Bunny growled. "I am NOT cute, you racking showpony."
"Okay, so not cute," Jack narrowed his eyes, his mind working. Only one other person ever called him that and he gagged before trying to hold the laughter threatening to burst out. He knew he was still in a cell and didn't want Pitch to catch him. Still... "Oh my... You're... You're the famous E. Aster Bunny? Oh man. I wish I had something to capture this moment! Maybe Hiccup to draw..." At the name, he caught himself. "HICCUP! We have to get to him,"
Bunny huffed, still annoyed but knew the urgency. "Glad you're catching on, mate. Sandy?"
Sandy brought out the snowglobe and threw it to the ground, revealing a portal.
At that moment, the door flew open, revealing Daggur. "I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING OFF! INTRUDERS!"
"Oh, crikey. Time to go!" Bunny hopped into the portal, and Sandy pushed Jack to it, following behing.
"WHOA!"
The two guardians plus spirit got to where North and Tooth were, already on the sleigh. On their way back, the portal turned Bunny back to his original self. The staff was thrown back to staff, and Jack smiled in thanks, climbing on to the sleigh.
"Nice meeting you Jack, I'm..."
Daggur then came out of the portal with other fearlings. "GET THEM!"
Tooth gasped. "Later North, later! Go, go!" She screamed.
North pulled on the reins and they took off... But not before Bunny summoned a tunnel beneathe Daggur who screamed, falling into it.
"I was saving that for North, but you can have it!" Bunny laughed. "Enjoy the bottomless pit!"
A/N: Okay, so next up will be the final battle with Pitch, the home coming and... *blank* I'm not gonna spoil everything! I'll try to have the last two chapters up by tomorrow. R&R
