"I'm pretty sure Pitch dragged Hiccup into his lair," Jack said with assured anger. It made his blood boil at the thought of Pitch laying a single grey finger on Hiccup's head.

The three friends had been transported to North's workshop where the three of them began to devise a plan to rescue their dragon loving friend. North, Bunnymund, Tooth, and Sandman were all doing their daily rituals as guardians of children. It was just the three of them at the moment.

Just the three of them . . .

Everyone in the workshop began to shudder at the image of Pitch killing their friend Hiccup . . . or worse.

"But the real question is why Pitch would want Hiccup to begin with?" Rapunzel asked, trembling at the horrifying image of an evil Hiccup. A Hiccup who would sacrifice his own dragon friend for his own purposes. A Hiccup who would want to make war – not peace – and relish in the thought of another's pain.

"Isn't it obvious?" Merida asked with a shrug, causing her two friends to glance at her with confusion. Her eyes glimmered with pride as she remembered the stories of his past. "Hiccup is a loyal, protective, and peace-loving. If Pitch were to . . . suddenly make him snap into submission," Merida's voice trailed off, leaving a deadly silence that hung over all three of the friends' heads.

"We can't let him get away with this," Jack muttered, gripping his staff so hard he felt it might snap in two. He glanced around for any snow globes that North might have somewhere in his workshop.

Flying over to his office, he pushed open the door and scanned the room with his eyes, finally spotting two sitting right on the edge of North's office table. He snatched both of them, pocketing one and holding the other in his free hand. Shaking it slightly, he said to the snow globe, "Pitch's lair!"

With that said, Jack threw the snow globe into the air, causing a portal to open up. The winter spirit motioned for the archer and the golden haired teens to follow him, all three heroes jumping right into the portal.
