After Jack and baby tooth escape from Antarctica


"Come on let's go!" Jack waved at the fairies, who were in the hanging cages of pitch's lair, but try as they might none of the mini fairies could lift off. "What's wrong?"

"Tweet, tweet!" Baby tooth's urgent chirps from his shoulder caused the boy to look below, seeing Pitches iron globe and the lights upon it that were going out. Jack's gut tighten, worse than when his staff had been broken. In groups, then one by one the lights blinked then darkened. To only one remained.

Seeing the light Jack climbed up to get a better look. "Jamie!" Jack said, excitement covering his face. But that excitement soon was replaced with dread. The memory of Sandy's death and of pitch's determination to kill baby tooth if Jack didn't do as he was told, rushed to the forefront of his mind. His grip tightened around his newly repaired staff. If there was one thing Pitch had made perfectly clear. It was that he'd go as far as he had to, to get what he wanted!

A strong feeling of protectiveness, what Jack now knew was brotherly instinct after finally seeing his memories, filled the winter spirit. Not only for the boy but also for the guardians. If tooth's mini fairies couldn't fly, Jack could only imagine how weak the others were right now. "Come on baby tooth."

The little fairy on his shoulder, however, shook her head and crawled down Jack's arm, then the iron globe, to the floor. She pointed to her sisters then at the ground. "You want to stay with them. But what if-" she chirped and pointed at Jack then the exit. "What!" Baby tooth's face softened. She puffed out her chest and looked determinedly at him. Jack was still unsure but a peck, albeit light, from her beak got hem moving. "Be careful, I'll be back with the guardians before you know it."

As he exited the liar and headed for Burgess Jack felt just how alone and unprepared he really was. He touched the place where Icecros's scale should have hung, but of course it wasn't there.

"Being wise about when to call for help is just as important as being willing to fight." His friends words echoed in his head. If there was ever a time when having an ice Dragon at your side was needed it would be now "I wish I could Icecros, I really do!"
