At last, they were finally in the forest. But Unfortunately, The scouts got down there first; after all, Sailor Teleport was always quicker. Or at least, that's what they thought.
Before they all got to the forest, one of Pitch's nightmares saw they were on their way and went back and told him that they were coming to the forest. He had a feeling that only Frost and Moon were going to face him only and if they were in trouble, they were going to call the other scouts and guardians, so he came up with a plan to distract them from coming to their rescue.
"We're finally here!" said Sailor Moon.
"Yeah but where are the guardians?" Jupiter wondered.
Sailor Moon giggled, "I Guess we're quicker than they are"
"I wouldn't think that if I were you" said a voice from behind Sailor Moon's shoulder. She turned around and flinched, startled. "AAAH!? What the heck? Jack?"
He laughed at the expression on her face. "That's my name, don't wear it out!"
She rolled her eyes at him.
Apparently, The Guardians got there faster than the scouts, which confused the scouts. "Hey! How do you get here before we did-"
"Snowglobe" North cut off Moon.
"HUH?!" The scouts said confused at his claim.
"It's a guardian thing" said Tooth, giggling.
"O-kaaay! Now this kinda getting awkward now" Mars blushed slightly in embarrassment. The scouts and guardians chuckled together.
"Alright! Alright! Enough of the chittah chattah!" Everyone stopped laughing and looked at Bunnymund, getting his attention. "We have a little girl to save!"
The scouts and guardians looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
The two teams now just almost forgot what they have came here for. They were so busy babbling and giggling that they forgot an important task that they were supposed to do. As much as they would love to chat and get to know each other, they knew there were more important things to focus on.
"Jack!" Sailor Moon called him to get his attention.
"Yeah?" he responded.
"I think me and you should go in there together"
Everyone including Jack looked at her as if she's gone insane.
"What?!" exclaimed North.
"But Sailor Moon!?" Tooth rested her hand on her shoulder, stopping her in tracks. "You don't know how dangerous it'll be down there!"
"Trust me, Tooth! Me and Jack can totally handle this ourselves" she smirked confidently.
"Yeah, well, not without us!" Said Tooth.
"Or us!" Said the sailor scouts together.
"Awwwww thanks guys" Sailor Moon slightly blushed.
"But no really we can handle this" said Jack in a serious tone.
"Are you two sure you can?" Asked Mercury worriedly.
They both nodded with dead serious looks on their faces. They felt like they own Mini Moon big time for breaking their promise to her.
"It'll be a piece of cake! You ready, Moonie?" Jack gripped his staff readily.
"Yeah! Let's go rescue Rini!" Sailor Moon said courageously. But there was one thing she forgot to ask, where is his lair?!
"Um? One question, Frost" she scratched her head confused.
"Yeah?"
Sailor Moon giggled dumbfounded. "Umm… Where is this lair of his?" She asked.
Jack sighed and pointed over to the broken bed from behind him.
"Oh, hehe! Silly me! I Knew that" She laughed nervously. Everyone rolled their eyes and dropped their faces into their palms.
"Is she always this, you know, Half-baked?" Bunnymund whispered to Mars.
"Oh you win that bet" She whispered, chuckling.
Sailor Moon heard them talking about her but luckily, this wasn't the time to bicker and argue with one of them.
Jack rolled his eyes, "Just come on"
Moon began to go with Jack. "Oh I'm coming, Frost!"
"Guys!" Tooth called, stopping them. They turned to her attention. "if you both are in trouble, call us for help"
"Tooth! We got this!" Said Jack, getting tired of being unestimated. "Come on Moonie!"
Sailor Moon nodded and they were off but as Jack was going into the entrance, At first, she hesitated to go in because of how dirty and dusty it looked in there but she was going to do this for Mini Moon's sake. The others looked on worriedly as the two went inside the lair.
Then Mars started to have a vision, she crouched down in slight pain.
"MARS!" The scouts exclaimed, holding her in comfort. The guardians gave her an anxious look.
"What's wrong?!" Asked North.
"The townspeople! ….. They're… in trouble!"
Everyone gasped. "But… Trouble by whom?" asked Tooth.
"T-The nightmares? They're terrorizing people in the town! we have to go and help them!"
"But what about Jack and Sailor Moon?" Asked Jupiter.
"If they say they can handle it, Let's take their word for it! we can't just stand here and do nothing while those people are in danger!" Mars said.
The two groups decided to go and fight the nightmares back in Burgess. At this moment, They couldn't just sit around and let the town be terrorized, All they could do is have faith in Jack and Sailor Moon.
~In Pitch's Lair
Since Sailor Moon didn't want to slide down there by herself, Jack volunteered to hold her hand so she wouldn't slip and fall until they finally got inside of Pitch's lair, possibly breaking something in her body.
"Ew! Ew! Ew! It's so dirty!" She squeaked in disgust. Wiping the dirt and dust off herself as they finally got to the lair.
Jack chuckled. "Really, Sailor Moon? I Thought you wouldn't mind a little dirt"
"That's not funny Frost! You try fighting in a skirt!"
"BLECH!" He cringed at the thought of it. "I Don't even wanna think about it!"
They both looked up and saw the thousands of cages holding the fealings. Sailor Moon started to show some fear in her…..
"Hey, Moonie! Whatever you do, do NOT show or have any fear because that's what the fearlings are attracted to" He explained.
"Kinda like the same thing with the nightmare horse thingies?"
"Yup!"
"I've never would have guess" she said sarcastically. "So where do you think is Mini Moon?" She asked worriedly.
"Probably in one of those cages" Jack guessed.
"Are you sure?"
"One hundred percent! He would totally put her in one of those cages! and When I find him, I'm going to….. to…. Oh! I can't think of it yet! I'm too worried about Rini! I'll tell you what, You stay here while I search for her in these cages"
"Wait what?! But… What about Pitch?!"
"We'll deal with him later!" Just as soon as Jack was beginning to go up on the cages to save Mini Moon, he then noticed trying Sailor Moon running off for some reason.
"Hey! Where are you going?" He asked concernedly.
"I'm going to find Pitch!" She replied.
He looked at her as if she had lost her sanity. "What?! But-"
She cut him off.
"I don't care what happens to me! I'm going to find Pitch no matter what he'll do to me! No matter how much nightmares he gets on me, I will defeat him for Rini's sake!"
"And what if you don't?" Jack frowned.
"... I just rather him keep me instead of Mini Moon"
He was quite surprised by what she was saying.
"Trust me. At least he would have one of us" she murmured, looking down.
"Sailor Moon..."
She looked up at him and smirked confidently. "Don't you worry! That creep is going to pay one way or another! And besides…. he's no match for the champion of justice! Trust me!" She giggled and did her signature pose assertively, and with that, she ran off further into the lair to find Pitch, knowing that she possibly might get lost in there but she didn't care, she was doing it for Mini Moon.
As she ran off, Jack couldn't help but stare and smile at her. But in his point of view, she was running in slow motion and sparkles were roaming around her. Butterflies started to travel inside of him, He gave her a goofy but cute look and sighed as if he was looking at something beautiful… but then He shook his head fast to snap out of it, which he did.
"Wait! What just happened just now? Was I just…. I Think I like…. I Think I have a… NAH!" He looked up at the cages, now thinking and worrying about Mini Moon.
"Don't worry Pinkie. I Know you are scared somewhere up there. But try to be bold… For Sailor Moon, the Scouts, the Guardians…. and me. No matter what the costs are, we are willing to risk our lives for you now"
