Anyway on with the chapter!

(Can't remember if I've said it: I DON'T OWN RISE OF THE GUARDIANS)

Chapter Eight: Return of the King

The Guardian's all backed away from the glare's that Manny and Jamie were sending them (Minus Sandy as he defended Jack).

"What can we do to make it up to you?" Tooth asked,

"Join the Balance keepers in fighting Pitch and Anny, we are outnumbered and outmatched but the balance must be held" Manny replied,

"We will fight with you, and Take Pitch down!" North smiled,

"Good, now I must go assist Natura, she is healing Ice and needs energy" Manny replied, "Jamie, I have a feeling you'll be needed too"

"Sure Master Manny" Jamie smiled walking behind him as he left the room, The Guardian's stood in the room alone looking among themselves.

Ice's room's walls were covered in ice, as Natura walked into the room and Placed ice down on the bed. She walked over to his desk and picked up his replacement Mask and removed the broken remains of his old mask.

She smiled down at the peaceful face that was before her, she brushed some of the white hair out of his face and placed the mask on his face, hiding it from view as Manny and Jamie walked in.

"How is he?" Jamie asked,

"Resting…. You did well bring him back here Jamie" Natura smiled, "Or should I say, my son"

"Thank you…. Mother" Jamie replied, as a sudden crash outside made them all rush over, they started at the black suited army standing at the bottom of the thousand stairs.

"Anny has arrived" Manny scowled looking out at the head of the army.

"Rally the protectors" Natura shouted from the window, "It's time for battle!"

Half an hour later the complete might of the Balance keepers and Guardian's was gathered in the courtyard, Manny and Natura standing one side, Galatica and father Time the otherside.

"We stand on the very tip of life and death here today, the very balance of the world is a stake…. We must stand strong and keep our hearts held high and belief in our path" Manny called, "FOR THE BALANCE!"

With that the keepers and Guardian's watched as the massive gate was blasted to pieces, Anny walking in alone.

"Well…. Well….. Well" Anny smiled, "If it isn't the Keepers…. And your pet's"

Jamie scowled as he looked at her, she drew out a sword and smirked.

"Attack!" Manny called as he, Natura, Father Time and Galatica jumped at Anny. Each drawing their sword and swinging them at the Queen of Darkness, their blades crashed as the four of them leaped around, attacking her in turn, she easily held them off. After their blades clashed for what must have been the hundredth time and within another minute Manny, Natura, Father Time and Galactica had been blasted against a wall each and were trying to stand up, but their strength had failed them.

"Our turn!" North called jumping forward before a wall of Nightmare sand burst at them, launching them backwards crashing into the army of spirits.

"Is there none among you that can face me anymore?" Anny asked, "Ha, then I clam my vi…"

"I'll fight you!" Jamie called, drawing forth the blasé that he and Ice had forged, he and Anny ran at each other and Jamie's blade met Anny's and he flicked around, avoiding Anny's attempt to kill him.

He blocked attack after attack until Anny slammed her blade into Jamie's cutting it in half, and she kicked Jamie in the chest slamming him to the floor, she raised her blade and preparing to plunge it into Jamie,

"Now Bark…. You will die!" Anny smiled,

"Not today!" A New voice called and every head turned to face a lone figure standing atop a wall of the Balance towers.

"Ice!" Anny smiled, "Come to have another round with me?"

"Not this time, I have come to stop you, once and for all" Ice replied,

"You and what army?" Anny asked,

"The army of Winter" Ice replied,

"Only the King of Winter can summon that army!" Anny smiled, "And he preshised years ago….."

"I-Ice…. It …. It is time" Natura told him,

"Yes Mother" Ice smiled,

"Time for what?" Anny asked, as Pitch walked towards them

"Its time to throw down the Mask of Ice" 'Ice' smiled taking off his mask and dropping it on to the floor where it shattered, "And take up the Mantle of the Frost King" With that 'Ice' looked up at them and smiled, his blue eyes full of Mischief and his white hair falling just where it wanted to.

"Jack….." Jamie smiled, looking at him,

"Hey kiddo, I'm back" Jack replied, "And now it's time to teach you a lesson Anny!"

So Ice is Jack!
