"Can't say I blame you." Jamie murmured, wondering if there was a way to get Jakoul out... Jack sniffed, Jakoul fed off his emotions for the sake of energy and snickered.
"Let's see... which sun goddess will it be today?" He scanned the beach of the women around as the beach became slowly crowded with people. Gale smirked, watching them walk by; unaware, it seems, of the danger.
"Ooh! Twins two o'clock!" Jakoul chuckled as the two were alone, splashing each other. Jack whined.
"He's such a pig... which makes me a pig too." Jack curled in on himself, sobbing. Jamie wrapped his arms around Jack.
"No Jack, you're not. I know you better than that." He murmured soothingly.
"Just like you know I'm not Gale, you aren't Jakoul." Gale grinned, shifting his gaze to the two.
"Man, you have the best tastes... so what's the plan, or we just wing it?"
"Hmmm... let's see... We should wing it, but I think we should ease them into it." Jack glared angrily at Jakoul. He didn't want this. Gale grinned and stood up only to yelp at the sudden blinding light. Neither he nor Jakoul could see as the sun bounced off a mirror that had been positioned just right to send the rays of the sun into them.
"AHH! I CAN'T SEE!" Jakoul was confused, who had positioned a mirror like that?
"Augh! What the hell?!"
"Damn it all! That's getting hot!" Gale complained; Jamie snickered at the two, but he wondered as well who was interfering... Jakoul growled.
"Aww man... they're gone." The twin girls he'd been eyeing before were gone by the time he regained his sight. Jack smiled a little, whispering to the unknown interloper.
"Thank you."
"Hey... Jack, look!" Jamie looked in surprise. At the feet of the two winter spirits was a small note:
You are not alone. We believe in you!
Gale growled a little in frustration.
"What the hell? Seriously?!" Gale knocked the mirror over with a cold gust, looking down at the note.
"Huh... looks like we got some stalkers." Jack was in shock.
"Who..." Jakoul growled at the sight of the note.
"It seems so." Jack hugged Jamie close to him.
"I do believe." Jamie shrugged at the question of who.
"I didn't see anyone... but I... I can sense something... It's kind of odd... I can't pin them down." Gale frowned.
"I knew humans were stupid but THIS? Seriously?" Jakoul huffed.
"I know, now we'll have no one to play with." He growled. Jamie tried to pinpoint the source; a ball of paper smacked Jakoul upside the head.
"What the hell..." He unraveled the ball, as curious as Jack.
It was another note:
Humans aren't all as weak as you think... We've been watching you and we're sick of you.
Jakoul growled and handed the note to Gale; Jack hoped that the mysterious stranger could help them. Gale raised an eyebrow.
"Cocky... wonder what they think they can do against two magical beings."
"Plenty obviously..." Jamie murmured, thoughtful. Jakoul snickered.
"Well, let's go somewhere else." Gale nodded.
"Oh hey... Las Vegas next! Plenty of saps there, money, all the drinks you can want and women..." Jakoul smiled.
"Great idea, let's go." He went back to the car and Gale hopped in beside him, the two driving to Las Vegas; Jack sniffled, hope filling him during the ride. He hoped that the mysterious person who had thwarted the two with a simple mirror trick really could help stop the two. Neither of the two noticed the pair of eyes watching them, narrowing slightly even as the owner went into a bathroom, holding a snowglobe in one hand... Jamie can't help but smile a little even as he wonders who their helper is and how they're brave enough to irritate a couple of winter spirits... Smiling, Jakoul scare the hell out of a handful of men at a rest stop. Neither of the two were aware that when they arrived at Las Vegas that the mysterious helper had arrived before them. Eyes gleaming as they waited at the edge of the city, on the lookout for the stolen car... This person was smart... and far from ordinary. It was because of this person that the Guardians had been alerted the first time. Being a rare sort of person among humans, because this individual wasn't just a believer... but also an adult... Jakoul chuckled as they pulled into the city.
"Wooo! Let's bring on the money!" The night goggles didn't give away their position as the believer spotted the car. A warm breeze swirling by as a comm crackled to life.
"Is everything set North?" A feminine voice asks.
"Da, ready to spring trap. Where they stop?"
"I'll let you know when I do. Be ready to open the portal."
"We'll be ready mate. Don't get too close, can't have 'em findin' ya." Came Bunny's reply.
"Not worried about that."
"Just be safe sheila." Jakoul laughed gleefully as he drove around the city.
"WOOO HOO!" They were in Vegas, not caring about the people in the road, looking at all the places that were lit up.
"I say, let's go there!" He pointed at a bar with a woman dancing on the sign, clothes off.
"You got it!" Gale grinned. The individual winced a little and hit the button on the comm.
"Alright... they're heading where I thought they were. The strip casino. Figures." There was a choice curse at the other end, it wasn't clear who said it though. Jakoul smirked.
"Let's make it a bang." He made an orb of ice and soon it was smocking with fog frost. He threw it, the sign exploded in white sparkes, scaring everyone.
"Alright, alright! We came to have some fun now if you don't want to die today I suggest you give us a good time." He addressed those inside. All of them scrambled in fear to see what they could do to comply, already Jakoul had killed the security with an ice bomb at the door. The humans scattered to one side while from the crowd the Guardians appeared.
"Not so fast!" Bunny called.
"Oh no... Not you again!" Gale groaned. Jakoul was just as displeased and threw down an ice bomb in an attempt to escape in the smoke and frost that covered everyone's vision.
"Quick, to the car!" Jakoul headed towards the nearest window.
"Let's get the hell out." Jack cried in pain as it took energy to make those cursed bombs. The window slammed shut in Jakoul's face as did the doors and the humans have deserted the room. Leaving just the two of them and the Guardians.
"Not so fast." North said with a grin.
"Damn, it was a trap." Jakoul glared at them darkly, his eyes gleaming a black as he flicked his wrist; an ice whip entangled each Guardian and barbs dug into Tooth's wings and arms from the one that wrapped around her as Jakoul snickered.
"You guys don't play fair do you?"
"Look who's talking." A voice came out over the speakers. Gale looked around for the speaker, but he didn't see anyone while the Guardians struggled against the ice. Bunny managed to get out first, North right behind him as the two used magic to melt the ice and free the others next. Bunny brandished a staff along with his boomerangs now. It looked a little like it was Japanese in origin with a large ring and four rings dangling along the sides but the larger ring was egg shaped. Jakoul growled and used the wind to slam each of the Guardians into a wall, kicking Bunny where he'd been stabbed before. Bunny grunted, but grinned as the temperature of the room began to skyrocket. He twirled the staff, smacking Jakoul aside even as Gale was dodging Sandy's whips as well as Tooth while North slammed Jakoul from behind. Jakoul gritted his teeth in pain; this was Jack more pain as well. Jakoul dodged North's next attempt, freezing Bunny in place while he kicked North into him and turning to freeze Sandy's whips, allowing Gale to kick Tooth out of the way and then flying with an ice dagger to impale Bunny. Bunny was ready for the blow this time and barely twisted out of the way, instead slamming the staff into Jakoul's gut and heating the large ring with a spell to an uncomfortable level. Not enough for major damage but more than enough to hurt. Bunny twirled the staff, glaring at Jakoul.
"Sorry 'bout that Frostbite. Hope ya understand mate..." He grunted out, glaring while North helped Sandy unfreeze and Gale chased Tooth only to be slammed by a heat vent, forcing him to retreat.
"Damn human!" He raged, a second heat vent opened right above Jakoul, blasting him next.
"UGH! FUCK!" The heat hurt Jakoul, making him whine in pain as he was trying to cast ice, but the heat weakened him and so he decided to turn to combat, slamming into North with his foot; North went flying into the bar stools. Jakoul's distraction gave Bunny time to swat Jakoul while North went flying, the other Guardian recovered quickly enough and slammed into Jakoul in retaliation; his own weight a lot more effective than Jakoul's.
"What's the matter? Can't take a little heat?" Bunny smirked before slamming the edge of his staff into Jakoul's face while Tooth slammed into Gale, sending him flying into a wall and a different blast of heat, causing him to cry out.
"DAMN IT!" Jakoul yelled in pain as it felt like he broke an arm.
