There's Something Wicked in the Air Part 2

Bunny walks with Jack, "You shouldn't do this! I'll go with you." Jack looked up at Bunny with fire in his eyes, "No! I have to do this alone. If he wants to protect me then he'll snap out this idiocy and help me!" Bunny stopped and Jack kept going. Bunny's head dropped. He shook his head slowly, "North. Why are you doing this?"

Jack stomps outside into the snow. The wind senses his anger as soon as he walks out and quickly picks him up. Baby Tooth flies after him, squeaking frantically. She tries to slip into Jack's hoodie pocket, but stops when she feels the boy scoop her up. Jack looks at her sternly. "You have to stay here, Baby Tooth. It's too dangerous." Baby Tooth drops her head in sadness and nods in understanding. Jack looks at her with guilt and places a tiny kiss on her head. "I'll be fine." The wind carries Jack higher and takes him to his destination. "I'm coming for you, Pitch…."

Back at the office, North remained at the door. He heard footsteps coming closer. It was Bunny, and this time he knocked gently. Bunny gulped as he felt fear for Jack, "North. Don't close me out, okay? ... This is serious. Jack wasn't just saying that to get you out of that room. He is literally going after Pitch again! And he's gone alone! You need to go help him! If he fights Pitch alone again, something even worse might happen to him!"

North's eyes opened wide as he noticed how stupid he was acting, he jerked the door open and walked out quickly. Bunny stumbles as North bursts out the door. He quickly regains his balance and hops after him.

Meanwhile, the wind had taken Jack back to where he first encountered Pitch the day before. He was set gently on the ground. Jack glares and shouts. "I know you're here, Pitch! Show yourself!" Silence was the only thing that answered. "Stop playing games and fight me you coward!" The silence was broken by maniacal laughter. "Me? A coward? It is you, Jack Frost, who is a coward."

North pushed through Yetis that were busily working to quickly get to his sleigh. Bunny struggled to keep up with the practically running guardian. When they got to the sleigh room, North went to the wall, got his sharpest blades, his coat, and his hat then hopped onto the sleigh. He signaled Bunny to get on and even though Bunny hated the sleigh he jumped on, knowing that Jack's safety was more important than his hatred of riding in the bloody thing. Once Bunny had sat down North slapped the reigns and the sleigh flew quickly and zoomed out of the "garage" and off to find Jack and Pitch, hoping that it wasn't too late.

Pitch chuckles darkly and appears behind Jack, his black sand wrapping around the young spirit. "Did you miss me?" Jack glares straight ahead. "You wish…I came here to finish our fight." In a flash, Pitch was now in front of him. He smirks. "Face it, Jack Frost. You can't defeat me." Pitch grabs Jack's chin roughly, forcing him to look him in the eye. "So, why don't you just surrender peacefully? We wouldn't your pretty little face to be harmed, now would we?" Jack glares into the golden eyes in front of him. "I will never surrender!" The staff starts to glow brightly. A wall of ice suddenly surrounds Jack, sending Pitch flying back. "What- what is this?!" The sound of cracking ice reaches Pitch's ears. Shards of ice float around the unharmed guardian. Jack's eyes were glowing a brilliant blue, the color of the light that surrounds his staff.

As North got closer to the lake, a cold breeze chilled the air but he pushed on; he had to get to Jack. He knew that the sudden change in temperature meant that the battle was going to begin and that Jack was going to go all out. Once he saw the lake, North quickly landed the sleigh, jumped out, and ran to the battle. When he reached the battle ground, Jack was being held by the neck of his jacket by Pitch. North's eyes filled with rage and he threw one of his swords at Pitch. As the sword almost hit Pitch in the eye, he disappeared and reappeared further back and Jack fell to the ground gasping for air. North ran in front of Jack and yelled at Pitch, "You will harm him no more!"

Pitch smirks and laughs. "And what are you going to do about it?" He summons his army of Nightmares. They snorted and pounded their hooves angrily, waiting to feed on the slight fear that had settled among North. Suddenly, something hit Pitch from behind, quickly heading back towards the attacker. The attacker caught it and a familiar Australian accent spoke. "You'll have to go through me if you want to get to my family, mate." It was Bunnymund! A more feminine voice spoke up alongside his. "And me!" Tooth glares at Pitch, fury in her violet eyes. Gold sand formed itself beside the other two, revealing a very angry Sandy.

North smirked, "You mess with one… You get all!" All the guardians stood in front of Jack. Jack looked up at them, especially at North. He was surprised that the man actually came. 'Wait. Just a minute ago he was sulking in his room and now he got the guts to come out here?!'

Pitch growls and brings out his scythe. The Nightmares throw their heads and paw at the ground, nostrils flaring. "You're going down, guardians!" He lunges at them, the Nightmares following suit. Bunny throws some of his egg bombs, each one bursting into a cloud of bright colors. The Nightmares that were hit disappeared, only to be replaced with more. Sandy grabs some of the dark creatures with ropes of gold sand and slams them into the ground or against the trees. He would sometimes grab one and use it as a weapon against the others. Tooth guarded Jack as best as she could. She wasn't much of fighter, but if the time came, she packed a mean punch.

North fought Pitch head on and when Pitch looked into North's eyes, he saw fury inside of them. Pitch smiled, "Oh, I see I've made you angry. Good, it means you'll fight better." North growled, "I will never let you hurt Jack again." Pitch laughed, "Oh, like that's ever going to stop me!"

Jack closely watched North's battle with Pitch. His eyes widened when he heard North yell, "You harm my son EVER again and I will rip you apart limb by limb!" Jack's eyes widen. 'Son'? North had called him his 'son'?! He struggles to stand up, using his staff for support. Tooth spins around and gasps. "Jack! What are you doing?! You need to rest, we have everything covered!" Jack turns to her and let's his gaze wander to each of the other guardians. His cool gaze lands on Pitch and he snarls. Snow and ice started to swirl around him in angry gusts, the blue glow of his eyes returning. Jack raises his staff and brings it down against the cold ground. Ice spread from the end of the staff, all the way across to Pitch, freezing everything in its path. The other guardians were safe from it, but the Nightmares and Pitch himself weren't. Again, Pitch found himself being frozen alive. His Nightmares writhed and struggled against the mass of ice. Pitch yells angrily and breaks free. He charges at Jack, scythe at the ready. "You brat! You'll pay!"

North gets in front of Jack and stood tall. Pitch raised his scythe and brought it down on him. North held back the scythe with one of his swords and with his other hand he picked Pitch up by the neck, choking him. North looked Pitch dead in the eye, "You threaten me, my son, or any of my family again, and I swear it on my blade, that I WILL hunt you down and tear you limb from limb." North drops Pitch on the ground watches as he cowers back in fear.

The Nightmares that managed to survive turn around and glare at Pitch with their red eyes. Bunny smirks. "You're showing fear again, Pitch. Guess what that means?" He waves his in farewell. "Bye bye!" Pitch stares in horror as his precious Nightmares turn on him. They slowly advance on him, gaining more speed every few seconds. Pitch screams as they attack him. Teeth and hooves ripped at him until he was nothing more than literal dust. The Nightmares slowly disappear along with him.

North smiles, "Well I guess that takes care of that. Now on to important matters." North turns around and looks at Jack with a solemn expression, "Jack. I'm sorry. It was childish of me to stay locked up when instead I should've been looking out for you and hunting down Pitch."

Jack hardly cared anymore. The only thing he could keep on his mind was the fact the North had called him, his son! Jack smiled at North and threw his arms around him, "It's okay… Dad."
