The 3 of them broke into battle, with both sides going for the same target. Elsa.
With ice shards shot to the target, It simply wasn't enough to weaken the darkened man. Bunnymund threw his boomerangs all around splitting his midnight sand apart, but no matter how many times he did damage... they'd always reconstruct to normal.
The guy was hard to beat, without the help of the other guardians. They simply stood no chance against Pitch.
Jack on the otherhand didn't want to give up. He would fight until he died just to save his princess. Still he knew that if he died for her she'd feel responcible for his death. In other words, death was not his option. Not yet atleast.
Jack continued to shoot his ice at the guy. He flew around dodging every pointy sand pillar that was shot at him. Making things worse, Pitch brought forth his devilish horses to help his side.
The horses followed their targets all around the room, catching up to their prey.
Pitch made a stampede of big strong horses follow the 2 guardians. Finally being cornered Jack dropped his staff in defeat as Bunnymund made a quick escape through a rabbit hole which closed up the second his ears passed the enterence.
Jack glared up at Pitch who was tapping his fingers against one another as he made his way to the poor girl in her bed.
"If I can't have her then you can't either" Jack mummbled in anger as she flew up into the air not caring that a horse had bit his ankle leaving sand marks there. He fistfully threw a flow of frost at Pitch causing his eyes to sting. Taking that as his advantage he grabbed Elsa's shaking body from the bed and busted out the door flying away from the darkness he left behind.
He flew up to the roof of the extra orphanage of mentally ill. He knew Pitch was gonna catch up to them sooner than later, so he started to speak his last words to his love.
"Elsa, I sorry for what I'm gonna have to do but its the only way to save you from the dark man who's been chasing you for years. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you then, but I can do something here and now for your safety. I love you,and I'll keep watch over you no matter what. I hope you can hear me... goodbye Frostbite..." He kissed her shaken lips and she somehow managed to kiss him back. She heard him.
Tears fell from his eyes as he started to force all his magic to his hands. Closing his eyes to not see the process he strongly created an ice cacoon like wall wrapping all over Elsa's body. Slowly one by one the frosty shards connected with one another like a puzzle until it was complete. In his arms there was no longer a living princess, but an ice statue wrapped in frosty snowflaked layers.
"NO!" A dark malicious voice yelled from behind. Jack turned around to see Pitch crumble in anger, his teeth gritting hard, and his eyes narrowed a glare at the boy with the ice girl.
"I willl get you back for terrorizing my girl. You'll soon be regretting what you did to my girl. For messing with Jack Frost's girl" Jack said in a determined serious tone as he never released his angered glare from Pitch.
Scattering like a cockroach the darkness disappeared leaving Jack a look of terror.
With darkness gone and his love in a new state, Jack fell to his knees and let all emotion show.
Tears streamed rapidly down his eyes and fell on the ice Elsa's cheeks. He wanted to feel her again, hear her again, smell her again, but all that was gone. Cause she was gone for who would know how long.
A coma of ice was his only solution for her to escape those terrors but Jack was already missing her...
He stayed on the rooftop remembering every memory he had with her. When he looked up at the moon he began to question things.
Did you know about this? Why didn't you warn me about this?
Why do I have to become a guardian? Is there even a reason in the first place?
Will I ever get her back? How long will that be?
Is life worth living without her really at my side?
No matter how many questions he threw out there, the moon didn't respond. All he got was a In time you'll recieve answers for now work with the guardians. That was no answer to Jack, but in his heart he knew he had to do it. Something in him had a feeling that he would eventually recieve his answers.
"Jack omg are you ok?! how are your teeth?!" A high pitched voice was heard coming at him from behind. He turned around with ice Elsa in his arms.
At the sight of such thing. Teeth gasped. The rest of the guardians weren't far behind, but when they got there they had the same reaction.
"What happened here?" Bunnymund asked unsure how this happened
Jack told them about everything that happened in that fight. He even told them about Elsa's previous dreams, not forgetting to tell about her backstory.
The guardians were left speechless, but still took such hardship as a loss to them all. Throwing a snowglobe to the ground reopened a portal, they took Jack past the portal as they made their way back to the base. As they disappeared through, Jack turned around to watch how everything he left behind was going to be forgotten.
The walls of melted ice disappeared off leaving the original wallpaper behind. The puddled floor disappeared back to the wooden floor. The damamged chandeleirs, back to normal cieling lights. The cracked frozen furniture, back to wooden furniture. Everything went back to normal as if no one was in the room in the beginning.
The sight of Ginnie and Grumpy walking in made his eyes water abit.
"Elsa? Ja-" not being able to finish his name. The very existence of jack and elsa was completely gone and there was no way they'd ever remember the boy with the staff. Or the mistreated girl.
Grumpy, the woman who treated Elsa as an animal still walked into the room looking for her. That gorilla really did have a soft spot for her, Jack thought as he turned his back around and faced to where he was now going to consider home.
The portal reopened to the sight of a snow covered mountain. Looking around as Jack landed back on land he noticed the sky was grey with clouds.
Santa led the way back into a red building. Inside the place was full of inventions. Elves walked around from shelf to shelf making toys and wrapping them. Tall white fur covered yeti's painted some toys, and others carried tall heavy toys to a huge red bag.
there was no doubt about it, Jack was standing in Santa's toy factory in the North Pole. It was all like christmas morning in Jacks eyes. He followed Santa and the rest over to a different bigger place near the area of toys. Sandy flew over to push a small button on the floor to split revealing a huge globe to rise.
"Teeth can you and Sandy take Jack somewhere nice while I get things ready here?" Santa asked as he began to analyze some things. Eventually Bunnymound hopped out of a rabbit hole and helped Santa out
Teeth nodded as she took Jacks upper arm causing him to nearly drop ice Elsa. Sandy smacked his forehead as he shook his head. to make things easier he used his sands to connect and form a cloud long enough for Jack to lay Elsa on. Once ready they made their way out. Tooth took one of the snowglobes with a building hanging from a wall.
Going through the portal Jack found himself in a different place. He watched as all around there were small fairies flying around from one hung building to another that looked almost like a beehive.
"Amazing huh?" Teeth asked with a smile from ear to ear
"I'm guessing my baby teeth are somewhere around here?" Jack asked cupping the back of his neck as he watched every little fairy fly around. Just watching all the movement made him think of bees working in a beehive.
"Yes they'd be in there, i was gonna have them with me but that's dangerous to loose ones memories" Teeth said as her smile changed to a small nervous look
"Memories?" Jack repeated unsure
"You're teeth hold memories most precious to one, it's dangerous to loose them cause there's no way one could ever get them back" Teeth said as she flew up around a building. They followed, as she led them to a part of a hung building where there was nothing on. It was like the roots of the building that made a small room for one to sit down and relax since there was nothing around to bother.
The thought made no sense in Jacks mind. He noticed the fairies don't ever stay still they work too much, and well Teeth doesn't ever stop flapping those wings of hers so why would they have a small room there at the top of a hung building. Giving up on his thoughts he came to the conclusion that the building grew that on accident.
Sandy moved the golden cloud with ice Elsa into the room. The 2 of them gave Jack some time as they moved out. Sandy flew out to play with the small fairies, and Teeth simply did her job of checking teeth charts and helping move teeth into their corrisponding containers.
Jack was alone with Elsa. He thought the room was too plain for a girl like her so he ended up making small movable frost flowers all around the floor and above her on the cieling. When he finished fixing up the room the thought came to him that it looked like a small forbidden blue forest.
He chuckled at the thought but he still missed Elsa. Before he left he made sure to make the promise that he will bring her back no matter what. With that done he walked out flying to go find his escorts back to the North Pole.
Once back, he was officially working as a guardian. He was told about the children being the way for their existence. How they do their job. What kind of jobs they do. and what he'll be doing.
"So let me get this straight, we work holidays at day. but when we aren't, we fight badness or plan to fight?" Jack asked
"Yes" Bunnymound clarified getting ready to leave
Jack simply smiled as he felt ready
"So for now since there's no upcoming holiday yet, you can do chores around the place helping me today" Santa said as he handed Jack a bucket. Everyone else was already leaving to do their jobs except Sandy. He left to go meditate until night time at a room nearby full of clouds and a sunset background.
"what's this?" Jack asked
"Today you can help by cleaning the reindeer stables, just be careful where you step" Santa said as he whispered that last part.
Jack had no responce. He simply turned around in defeat as he followed an elf to his destination.
As Jack left hearing Santa's jolly laugh, his only thought was Winter please come by faster...
