Ch: 20 By your Side

It had been almost two weeks since Manny turned Hana into a baby Pooka. Bunny and Bunny's family were the ones who had to take care of her until she transforms back.

The bondage of Hana and Bunny's family had grown very strong. Caleb and Victoria keep thinking of Hana as their own daughter. Flint and Alice would usually take naps with Hana right beside them. Caleb would usually play tag with Hana and Victoria would sing Hana lullabies to help her to sleep.

It was the day before Hana transforms back into her normal self. Hana was with Caleb out in the fields as she sits on the top of Caleb's head; just between his ears as he chuckled.

"Ya just can't get enough attention, huh Sheila?" He asked as she nuzzled the top of his forehead. He smiled softly, but then was met with his bright green eyes against her blue-green eyes.

She must've leaned forward so much that she fell off of his head and she was on her back, staring at Caleb. He laughed as he nuzzled her. She nuzzled him back until she settled down between his arms and fell asleep for a nap.

"Dad? Where are ya?"

It was Bunnymund. He smirked as saw Bunny came up towards him, but sighed in relief when he saw Hana in Caleb's arms fast asleep.

"She's fine, Aster. The little Sheila just now fell asleep." Bunny walked forward slightly as he stroked Hana softly, making her ears twitch in her sleep. She lets out a small yawn before nuzzling deeper into Caleb's arms.

Bunny sat next to his father as he stares at the clouds. "Who knew that two weeks would pass?" Caleb asked. Bunny stared at him. "...you'll miss sheila bein' a kit?" He asked. Caleb laughed.

"Sorta...but...it brings me joy ta see Hana like this. Jus' like raisin' you, Flint, an' Alice all over again. Sometimes, I wonder if she was actually born as a pure Pooka." He said. Bunny had to laugh at that.

"That's what I thought as well..." He said as he gazed at the clouds.

Bunny then felt something wiggle in his arms. He looks down to see Hana staring at him, her blue eyes had an warm glow in them as she wiggled her nose slightly. Bunny smiled softly as he stroked Hana. She leaned towards the touch before nuzzling the crook of his neck.

"...I love ya too, Sheila." He whispered as she got on her hind legs and she nuzzled his cheek before giving a soft lick. Bunny smiled sadly as he nuzzled her back in return.

Suddenly, Hana's ears perked up, listening to some sound as she sniffed the air. She got out of Bunny's arms; standing on her hind legs as her ears were erect to the source of the sound.

She then lowered herself; her ears pulled back as she made whinning hoot sounds as she hopped back into Bunny's arms; shaking furiously.

She was scared of something.

"What's wrong, Sheila?" He asked softly; stroking Hana's head with a gentle paw. Caleb's ears then flickered as he sniffed the air. "Somethin's wrong." He said as he got his staff out.

"Get Sheila to a safe place." Caleb said as he darted off to the location. Bunny stared at Hana. She was still shaking furiously as she kept her face buried into his shoulder. Holding Hana protectively, he darted off to set Hana to a safe place.

After a good five minutes, he found a small tree with a hole in it for her to hide in. He gently settled her down on the ground and nudged her forward to the hole. "Stay here. I'll be back. I promise." He whispered.

Hana stared at him before giving him a soft and affectionate lick on the cheek before hopping in the hole. He smiled sadly as he darted off somewhere.

After what seems like minutes, Bunny found Caleb and the Guardians battling again. It was Lucifer. He then smirked as he saw Bunny drawing his boomerangs out; twirling them around his fingers expertly.

"Well, well...if it isn't the Guardian of Hope? Where's Hana? Has she finally got scared and ran off?" He asked. Bunny growled under his breath as he got into a fighting stance. "Not on yer nelly! How 'bout we finish what we started!?" Bunny threatened.

Lucifer only smirked as he got out a long sword and lets it rest on the top of his shoulders. "...I've been waiting for you to say that." He said as he stared at the Pooka warrior and started to fight with the Guardians.

It went on for what felt like hours. The Guardians were started to feel weaken as they kept on battling and battling. Alice and Flint managed to join the party as they tried to distract Lucifer so that the Guardians could strike.

Tooth was then thrown from Lucifer's force attack. Flint gasped as he got to Tooth and tried to protect her from the evil magic that was sent to them. Flint had his arms wrapped protectively around Alice as he waited for the magic to hit him.

But nothing came.

Instead...he heard a low growl.

Both Flint and Tooth opened their eyes to see a giant furry creature standing over them and growling at Lucifer dangerously.

The creature was huge. It had long ears like a rabbit as the rest of the body was built muscular as the wings were folded slightly; warning Lucifer to back off. It fur was black with a hint of pearly grey on the bottom part of it's cheek and belly. It had a very fluffy tail as it bared it's teeth at Lucifer.

Lucifer smirked.

"Ah, Hana...nice to see you once again. Thought for sure that you learned your lesson the last time we have met." He said. Hana only growled louder. Flint stared at Hana shocked as Tooth looks at Hana with awe; her hands were pinned to Flint's chest.

"...Hana?" Tooth asked.

Hana looks down; her eyes now turned big and smiled; hurring softly. She then looks up at Lucifer; her eyes now slit dangerously as she bared her teeth in a low growl. Lucifer only smirked.

"You still think that you can overpower me just because your the Imagination Guardian?" He asked now holding his sword out.

Hana roared as she puts Flint and Tooth behind her protectively. Flint stood up, with Tooth still in his arms protectively. He then looks down to stare at Tooth. "You okay, Sheila?" He asked. Tooth blushed, now seeing the comfort in his soft brown eyes. She nodded as she felt herself being pulled closer to his chest in a protective and yet soft embrace.

"...th-thanks. I-I'm okay." She whispered, her hands still pressed against Flint's chest.

Hana smiled at them, but then focused on Lucifer as she growled dangerously at him as she lowered herself to pounce and ready to attack. Lucifer tried to attack Hana as she dodged and tried to attack him as well. The Guardians were too weak to move due to exhaustion. Bunny stared at Hana in shocked as Hana tried to protect her new family.

But he was confused of her new form. It looks...like...a mixture of both creatures. He knows that one of them is a dragon but the other...looks like a Pooka. It then hit him.

She was a Pooka Dragon.

She mix a dragon and a Pooka combine. She kept growling as Lucifer tried to go near the Guardians, but she roared louder as her wings unfolded slightly; a dragon's way telling their enemies to back off. Lucifer growled under his breath.

"Stay out of my way, girl!" He snarled. That only made Hana growled louder as she roared, putting her family behind her; her wings spread out as she jumps infront of Lucifer everytime he tried to get to the Guardians.

"I will not let you hurt my family! I lost my family once and I'm not losing them again!" Hana yelled.

Hana kept fighting and fighting as Lucifer noticed that she wasn't backing down anytime soon. The moon was shining down at them as Lucifer snarled as he wrapped his cloak around them.

"You will be defeaten, Hana...along with your new family." He said as he surround himself in darkness.

He was now gone.

Hana growled and then snorted, knowing that the battle was done for now. Hana then stared at her family. Bunny was the first to walk forward. She lowered herself as she got closer to him before she nuzzled his cheek while hurring softly. He smiled.

"...hey there, Sheila..." He whispered.

Hana kept nuzzling him, a single tear running down her furry cheek. She sat down, still eye level with Bunny as she gave bunny a small lick on his cheek. Her eye pupils were big with worry and sorrow.

She then stared at Flint and Tooth. Flint smiled. "We're fine, Sheila..." He said. North and Sandy walked up to her. At first she started to back up, but Sandy gave her an encouraging smile.

"I thought you transform back tomorrow?" North asked; now confused why Hana haves her powers. She then glances at the sky, the full moon shining on them. She smiled and lets out a small hurr as a thanks to the moon.

North realized and laughed loudly. "Man in Moon has great things for you!" He said to Hana as he ruffled the top of her head. Hana hurred as she leaned agains the touch before surrounding herself in blue-green light.

She transformed back to her normal self.

She was suddenly engulfed by thin arms. It was Tooth as she spins her around with her arms around Hana's neck, like she did when they defeated Pitch with Jack Frost. Tooth pulled away, a smile on her face. "You okay? Are you hurt?" She asked; now acting like a worried parent.

Hana laughed slightly. "I'm fine, Tooth! Really, I am! I'm just glad I made it there on time." Hana said as she made Tooth pull away so she can breathe slightly.

"But, the magic..." Tooth remembers the magic heading towards her and Flint. Hana only smirked.

"Hey, I was a dragon at that time. They are fast healers when it comes to injuries and magic. I was only defending you guys from Lucifer long enough so my injuries could heal." Hana said she rubbed her arms slightly.

She then saw Bunny and her family. She smiled softly. "...I never got the chance to thank you when you guys took care of me when I was turned into a baby Pooka." Hana then stared at Victoria.

"...and thank you for taking care of me. I never got the chance to know what a mother's love was like." She said; a single tear ran down her cheek. She then stares up more tears running down her cheek.

"...but you helped me with that. Thank you...so much." She said. Victoria smiled sadly as she walked up to Hana and wrapped her arms around her shoulders; pulling Hana into a soft and warm embrace.

Hana was a little surprise from the sudden contact. She felt the tears still falling down her cheeks as she buried her face into Victoria's shoulder; wrapping her arms around her in a tight embrace.

Bunny, Caleb and North smiled sadly at Hana as she hugged Victoria tightly; crying softly into her chest. Victoria smiled sadly as she stared at Caleb and Bunny. Then Caleb turned his head towards Bunny and nodded. Bunny nodded as he walked up towards Hana and his mother.

Victoria managed to let Hana pulled away.

Hana then saw Bunny as he smiled sadly as he opened his arms out to Hana. She smiled sadly as she jumped up and wrapped her arms around his neck. Aster held just as tight as she did.

He soon pulled away as he stared at Hana's blue-green eyes; her arms still wrapped around his neck. He rest his forehead against hers, smiling softly as he still stare at her eyes. She gave a small smile to him as she stroked one of his ears. His smile grew wider slightly as lets her feet touch the ground then cupping one of her cheeks with one hand.

They soon had their lips pressed against each others. She smiled slightly as their lips were in sync; her hands resting on his shoulders as both of his arms were around her waist.

Jack laughed nervously as he looked the other way. North and Tooth shared nervous laughs. Sandy was giving them both thumbs up. Caleb and Victoria smiled proudly at their eldest son.

Flint went next to Tooth and smiled. Alice shared a affection look at Jack as he wrapped one arm around her shoulders.

Hana and Bunny soon both pulled away from their kiss; a slight blush on Hana's face. "Ya ready to head home?" Bunny asked softly. She nodded as she got out of Bunny's arms.

She transforms back into a Pooka dragon as she stared at Bunny. She stretched her wings and flapped a few times; still staring at Bunny. Jack smirked. "She's trying to ask you something, Bunny." He said.

It took Bunny a second to figure out what Hana was asking.

"Uhhh, I don't know..." He said. Hana was now giving him a pouty dragon face.

"No, no. Stop it, Sheila." He said, a smirk on his face. "Don't give me that face." He said. Hana drooped her ears down, her eyes turning big as she hurred at him. "No, it ain' happenin'." He said, turning around.

She nudged his face slightly, a whine creeping up her throat. Bunny chuckled. "Alright. This once, but that's it." He said.

Hana smiled and she jumped around with joy in circles. She then lowered her back so that she was ready, her tail wagging with anticipation. Bunny stared at her worriedly.

"I'm way over my head." He thought as he got on Hana's back.

She then took off in flash; climbing higher and higher into the sky. The Guardians can hear Bunny screaming at Hana to slow down. "Think we should help him?" Tooth asked.

Jack only laughed. "Nah," He said with a smirk on his face. "I know Hana will take good care of our Kangaroo."

"Hana, slow down!"

Hana kept climbing higher and highter into the sky with Bunny holding onto Hana tightly around her neck.

"Stop it! Hana, what are ya doin'!? Bad dragon!" Bunny yelled as she kept climbing higher and higher until they were above the clouds. She then calmed down as she let her wings glide in the blue sky.

Bunny managed to loosen his grip around Hana's neck. Bunny stares around as she starts to calm down. She then glances a worried and sad look at Bunny. He then realized why Hana was so hyper.

She was stuck as a Pooka for two weeks and she missed flying in the sky.

He smiled sadly as she stroked the side of Hana's neck. "Hey, it's okay. You missed being in the sky since you were stuck as a kit for two weeks. Just try ta take it a little slower next time, 'kay?" He asked.

Hana smiled as she hurred again. She flapped slowly as she kept her place in the sky. Bunny smiled sadly as he stared at her. He was happy to see Hana smile again and now that she had the mother love.

Hana's eyes then grew wide as she desperately looks around, a worried hurr creeping to her throat as she hovered. "What is it, Sheila?" He asked. She was looking around frantically.

A sad hurr was let out as she kept looking around. Bunny focused his hearings of what she was hearing.

"Hana..."

Bunny looks around; also hearing the voice. Hana knew that voice from anywhere as she looks around frantically again.

It was her father's voice.

She then dove down; Bunny holding on to his dear life. "Sheila! What part of SLOW DOWN didn't ya understand!?" He asked. But Hana ignored him as she kept diving down until she saw solid ground. She hovered slightly until she was touching the ground.

Thanks to being part Pooka, she can run just as fast as an adult Pooka as she ran on all fours; Bunnymund still on her back. He managed to hop off and ran beside her.

She stopped; looking around frantically as she tried to regain her breath. Just as she was about to run again, something heavy held her to the ground.

She looks to see North. Bunny had to hold her head down as she panics and tries to escape. Her wings were flapping frantically as she tried to wiggle herself free from North and Bunnymund.

"Hana! Calm down!" North said as she kept struggling to escape. She was getting up slowly into the air, North and Bunny holding on. With one flip, she managed to get them both off and took off once more.

Jack, Sandy and Tooth managed to show up to see Bunny and North groaning as they lay there on the ground. Tooth and Sandy helped North up while Jack helped Bunny up. "You okay, Cotton Tail?" Jack asked.

Bunny looks to see Hana flying away. "We gotta get Sheila ta calm down! She's gonna hurt herself!" He said as he darted off.

Bunny kept calling for Hana's name to land, but she wouldn't listen as she kept flying. Bunny then stared at his egg bomb that he had at his hand. He sighed as he lept into the air.

"...sorry, Sheila..."

With one throw, he threw the egg bomb at Hana as it explodes. That managed to knock Hana to the ground. But she shook the paint that was on her, now that her fur was now clean and tried to dart off again, but Bunnymund managed to tackle Hana to the ground.

"Sheila! It's me, Aster! Ya need ta calm down!" He said as Hana tried to struggle herself free. She kept roaring as she tried to buck Bunny off of her back, but so slowly, she was losing her strength as she kept panting.

Bunny slowly stroked Hana's fur. "Easy..." He whispered. Hana was breathing hard as she fell to the ground, Bunny still holding her down. "That's it...easy now..." He whispered; still stroking her fur as she started to calm down.

The other Guardians managed to find Bunny having a hold of Hana as she transformed back. She was pinned to Bunny's chest as she was breathing harshfully; knowing that she was exhausted and tired.

Bunny couldn't blame her. She manage to buck off both him and North, flying really fast, running really fast and trying to buck Bunny off again.

Suddenly, they were surrounded by blue mist. Hana tried to warn them, but she only fell into darkness.

Hana groaned as she felt a pain throbbing on the top of her head. She woke up to see herself in a cell of some sort. She rubbed her head slightly; only to felt a cloth of some sort.

She looks to see Jack smiling down at her. Her head was resting on his lap. "You okay?" He asked. She sat up as she rubbed her head. "Yeah...I-I think so." She said as she looks around.

"Sheila?"

Hana looks to see Bunny, North, Tooth and Sandy in a cell opposite direction from them. "Where are we?" Hana asked. North only shrugged. "We just now woke up." He said.

"You're in my home."

Out in the shadows was Lucifer. He only smirked. Hana wanted to use her powers, but she felt so weak right now. "Glad that you are awake. I hope that my gift didn't hurt you too much." He said, a sly smirk on his face.

Hana growled. "Now now, Hana. That's no way to treat me. I even brought a special guest just for you. Come on out, my dear." He said to the shadows. Out came a familiar woman that Hana recognize.

"Mom?" She asked.

It was Lucy and she hasn't changed. She only smirked. "It's been awhile." She said. Hana only glared at her. "Is this how you're going to treat dad after all he did for you!?"

Lucifer and Lucy only smirked. "You can be so dense, Hana. Perhaps this will help you see."

Lucifer surrounded himself with magic as it flows around him. He then opened his eyes; now a familiar emerald green. Hana gasped in shock and her eyes were wide with shock and horror.

It couldn't be.

"...D-Dad?"

OMG a Shocking twist!

Belt the Sloth: Dun Dun DUUUUUUNNNNN!

Bet you didn't see that coming did you. Lucifer is actually Hana's birth father? What is he up to? And more importantly, why did he do this to Hana, his own birth daughter.

Well, you just have to find out in the next chapter.

Until then,
