CHAPTER 5: FALL
"now then..." Pitch said while exciting the throne room "what do you say if we split up?" asked Pitch to nobody in particular
"you!" said the nightmare king motioning to a group of nightmares "take out all the stars in the cities" he ordered as the nightmares complied
"while you!" he said to another group "come with me! We're heading to the sky!" he said, (i'll reach you when i'm finished) he said with a huge grin, as they all disappeared into the shadows, each heading to their ordered place.
The dark ages had begun...

In the same palace where Pitch had been, Jack Frost watched helplessly in the blank space left in front of him...
" this is such a vivid memory..." he menaged to say to himself spotting the dead form of the king...
suddenly he popped his head up, fear appearing through his features
"S-Sandy!" trembled Jack's voice as he flew as fast as he could, hading for the city where Sandy lived...forgetting that he could not be seen...

Pitch appeared in the sky along with all the nightmares that somehow combined into a strange form that resembled a galleon...a nightmare galleon
On top of it, stood Pitch in all his glory, scythe forming in his hands at the sight of a lone star, spreading his dreams in complete silence, not aware of the danger approaching
The opportunity made him grin and shiver from excitement.
The galleon went down in all his glory, harpioning the comet with black hooks drawing it closer
The star-pilot tried to turn the direction but the hooks were holding it tightly
Pitch smiled in hunger as the star looked at him with eyes full of fear...
Fear felt so nice to him...first fears always where the greatest ones and he got drunk on it too easily.
The galleon pushed the star towards a black hole, and let it fall in...
The little star pilot screamed in pure terror as he disappeared into nothingness under the laughing of the nightmares, heading for other places...

"Katrina!" Hyria said
"there is something i need to tell you! They...the nightmares have a leader!" Hyria finished
"who?" asked Katrina as Hyria looked at the ground in sadness as the other understood right away...
"oh...it'him!" said Katrina as Hyria nodded
just two minutes later, a star was seen fall from the sky followed by a dark-galleon
"it's them!" Katrina said as Hyria nodded
"mobilized soldiers!" Katrina began "this is a real battle...prepare yourselves" finished Katrina.
Pitch saw the golden army right under them and smiled
"Hyria!" said Katrina as the other turned
"go to the Celestial city and make all stars go away" Katrina ordered
"but-" Hyria complained
"we'll be fine! It's an order!" Katrina said as Hyria obliged
"yes, general" she said angered turning away, leaving
goodbye...
Katrina knew she would never see Hyria again...but she was going to fight until her death
"finally we meet Pitch" Katrina said as both soldiers and the previous general stared
"how do you know my name?" Pitch asked as Katrina smiled
"i see the fearlings erased your memories for good...they did such a great job..." Katrina said as Pitch stared in confusion
"you still haven't answered to my question" Pitch said back as Katrina returned serious
"Pitch was the nickname you hated, before becoming a nightmare" said Katrina as Pitch laughed
"i don't care...are you ready to die?" asked Pitch as Katrina stiffened
"and you?!" she replied
"you can't fool me! I can sense your fear" Pitch said as Katrina smiled
"try me..." Katrina finished as the fight began
Pitch lunged at the 0 general as soldiers fought fealrings.
It was a furious battle
Even tough, soldiers were more skilled, nightmare began appearing everywhere and the more they dissolved, the more they came.
Right after ten minutes, soldiers were being killed and more nightmares came
Katrina fought really well...she was overwhelming Pitch
She was skilled and prepared for nightmares and fear and knew how to counter it
Pitch tried to sense fear from her but didn't get any
Such a strong star...
Pitch thought as Katrina attacked
He didn't see the whips coming as they slashed onto his skin, leaving a painful mark
"ugh...you little-" Pitch began launching his Scythe at her, who dodged
so strong...
maybe i could use her.
Pitch smiled at the thought
"i saw a rather-young star run before...who was it?" asked Pitch as Katrina stopped
your best friend
Katrina thought while Pitch smiled making her look at him
"what?!" Katrina asked
"nothing...it's nice to finally sense fear from you" he said as Katrina gasped silently
"yeah right!" Katrina said moving for attacking
"after this i'll be sure to plan a great end for her as well" said Pitch as Katrina boiled in rage, clashing dreamsand with black
"don't you even dare!" said Katrina as Pitch smiled
"fine then" Pitch said backing away as Katrina stared at him "i've distracted you long enough" said Pitch as Katrina looked around to find no one
she turned back to him, but he simply wasn't there anymore...
she backed away, scared by the sudden move just to hear a voice in the air
i'll make sure she'll be captured from...YOU
said Pitch as blacksand engulfed Katrina who screamed and tried to get free only to see her body slowly, but fast, turning to black.
She gasped in terror and, just then, saw Pitch
"what have you done to me?" asked Katrina
"i'm turning you into a nightmare!" Pitch said as Katrina started to laugh only to enrage Pitch some more
"she...will be far stronger than me..." finished Katrina, finally fading to black
"we'll see that..." Pitch finished leaving the ground to search for the mentioned star

"Sandy!" Jack screamed but realized his friend couldn't hear him, nor see him
"Sandy!" he shouted again
no response...
Jack felt so helpless...
He coudn't do nothing...
He could only watch the end of the golden age,
The end of happiness and freedom
Stars running and screaming
Although Jack was a little curious in
How Sandy got on earth...
But he couldn't see this sorrow...

"Sandy!" said Sunny as an angered Sandy walked towards his, made up, star
"you can't go around spreading dreams with him out there!" Sunny said as Sandy walked past him
"i don't care! I'm not letting a nightmare-brute in charge of the sky! And he's using his name!" Sandy said, rage building in his chest
Jack watched the Sandman's anger come out and smiled a little
Sandy mad? Seriously...this is too strange
He laughed silently as Sandy sit in his comet
"Sandy please!" pleaded Sandy, but he was determinated
"i promised to him!" Sandy began "i'll be careful! I promise! But i'm not letting beings without dreams! And i'm not letting an imposter use my idol's name" he finished as Ahe flashed thtough the sky, heading in the whole universe to sprerad his dreams...
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Jack's expression turned sad, eyeing the, now very small, star heading threw the sky
"and i'm not letting an imposter use my idol's name!"
"Sandy..."
"how wrong you are..."
