There seems to be a good number of people who gave this story a chance, but I'm just throwing a gamble out there that you weren't really convinced. Hey, you try writing one last minute while you're half awake and mostly sick. So without further ado, here's the first chapter. Hope you stick around for this one.

Well, it's another day. Winter is soon coming to an end for the northern hemisphere, and our young winter spirit let the wind carry him around not caring where he's going as long as it's cold. Landing somewhere in Ireland, he looks around at the final moments of his work. It's night at this time and everyone's tucked in bed inside waiting for the spring equinox to come in a few days. "It's spring already?" Jack sighed to himself. He smirks as he thinks of ways to bug Bunnymund again this year. Walking around the lonely street, he lets the frost move on its own with every step he takes.

It's a peaceful night, and there's no problem with anything. Just a peaceful night. Well, it was suppose to be. From a distance, Jack could hear a sort of screaming coming from a back alley. He went to check it out and comes face to face with something he's never seen in his whole 300 years of memories. It's a beast with three dog heads and a snake for a tail. It towers over a five story building, and in one of its mouths holds what looked to him like a small doll with wings.

Jack takes a step closer and rubs his eyes, hoping it's just his mind playing tricks on him. But to his dismay, it wasn't. And to top it all off, his staff knocks down a trash can from no where and the can crashes to the ground, leaving a huge crash to echo throughout the ally as the contents fall out. The creature's tail instantly found Jack from the shadows, and the beast turns around so that all eight eyes are on him, and he could swear that the creature looked amused. The creature lifted its paw up in the air and the claws met with an unfortunate street light and was cut down to half its size. The creature smirked at Jack's reaction which was to fall back from the crash. Jack tries to swallow the lump that formed in his throat, but it wouldn't budge, leaving him paralyzed when the creature held a staring contest with him. But soon, the creature got bored of their little game and decided to make the first move. Ever so carefully.

The creature starts to take careful, calculated steps towards Jack as he tries to scramble to his feet. He trips over his own legs and falls to the ground again. The creature's middle head went towards the young spirit and Jack could smell something rotting coming from its breath. He still tries to escape by slowly backing away, but the creature follows his every move and they fall into a loop of events.

Finally comes the time to break the loop and his back meets a brick wall, looking around slightly shows that he's trapped in a hidden corner of the alley. This greatly amused the creature, and opens its mouth to show rows of daggered teeth. Jack closes his eyes as he waits for the end, when something flies through the air and hits the creature right in the eye. Jack dares to take a peek, and he sees the monster start to cry from the pain and Bunnymund stands tall against the beast.

Jack jumps up and hugs him from the relief of being away from the beast, "Bunny! You will not believe how relieved I am to see your fuzzy face!" Bunny could easily make fun of the fact that Jack is acting like a total chicken, but he let it slide as they were still really close to the lion's den.

"Ya, ya. Thank me later mate, we gotta move. That thing won't stop until there's only one left standing. Get in." Bunny taps the ground twice with his foot, and a hole opens up. Without question or hesitation, they jump in. Both wanting all the more to get out of here. Bunny jumps in a few seconds later and the hole soon closes.

They slide down tunnels before landing in the North Pole, just outside North's workshop. They don't say anything, and just get inside. Jack is hoping for answers from his elders as they walk in; but instead of the warm welcome of a soft fireplace, they come face to face with a heat wave. The instant change of temperature below -30 to above 50 has both immortals to feel like fainting. But before any of them could do so, North comes out of his office. He's followed by a hooded figure clothe in light a blue hoodie and white shorts, and they both seem unaffected by heat around the two who just came in. "North! Why is it like 50 degrees in here!?" Bunny gasped out, as he wipes sweat out of his fur. (I'm Canadian so that's celsius if you're wondering.)

North's eyes widen in realization at what was wrong and instantly turned to the person behind him. He towered over the figure as he looks down at the person responsible for the temperature change. "Calm down, you should already known who these two are. They're not enemies." The hooded figure looks up at him for a second before the air around Jack and Bunnymund returned to normal. North smiles at the figure and gives them a nod of approval before turning back to the other two with a smile. "That should be better. How are you feeling?"

"Beside the fact that I almost died twice today, I'm good." Jack jokes as he looks over to the person behind North, "Who's that?" Jack strains to see any details of the face, but the hood easily hides everything. Almost like there's not even a head there, but he can feel a calculated gaze coming from the person behind him.

North stepped in to block his view, "Questions for later when every body here, yes? Have some cookies in the living room as you both wait." Before anyone could protest, North pushes both males into a room at the end of the hall and disappeared as he closed the door.

Heavy footsteps fade away from the closed door, and Jack had a feeling that there's something North was hiding and he wants to find out. Jack turns to tell Bunny his plan, but instead he sees the giant rabbit on the couch passed out. The temptation to draw on Bunny's sleeping face was almost too much, but he really wants to know what North is hiding.

Quietly slipping out the door, he makes it down the hall until he sees a pair of shadows on the floor. The two shapes shows great differences, North and his round large figure easily fills most of the floor, while the mystery person has a petite and fragile figure. They spoke in whispers, but loud enough for the words to reach Jack's ears, "Please just stay. You should meet the others. The powers they have was yours, right? You should teach them how to use it after all. It'll help them with what's to come." North's voice is easily recognizable, with its accent and baritone pitch, but the way he spoke held high respect for the individual.

"No, it's better for them to not be near me." The only conclusion for the new voice is that it belongs to the unnamed person. Their voice is light and held a soft accent that was local to an American. The pitch could belong to a girl, or a boy who didn't hit puberty. But the voice sounds wiser then North's and holds greater authority, almost like a wise elder. "They already know how to use them anyway, so there's no need for me to teach them. I'll just be in the way since I'm like this." A warm breeze suddenly flies through the halls as heavy footsteps head towards Jack's direction; the cue for him to get out of there quickly and he flies silently back to the waiting room.

Jack lands on an arm chair just in time for North to come in with some elves holding cookies and Sandy just behind them. As Sandy gets to work wordlessly on Bunny's dream of carrots, a girl he never met before comes in.

She looks like a sterotypical Mother Nature. Shoulder length light green hair and bright blue eyes. However, she looked no older than Jack himself. The whole air around her held a light cool air and you could easily hear the birds singing in the background. She takes a seat elegantly and her green dress flows down to wrap around her to show her feminine curves. Jack couldn't take his eyes off her, and she smiles sweetly at him. "Hi, I'm Flora Rayn. You must be another season spirit." Her voice was soft and elegant as she looked, and it reminded him of a soft spring breeze. "I'm guessing you're the winter spirit since you have frost all over your sweater."

Jack gives her a charming smile that he knows always gets the baby tooth fairies to swoon, "Jack Frost." He replies smoothly, and brushes some hair out of his eyes. "You guessed correctly. Though I can't guess yours."

Suddenly her smile darkened a little and her eyes became ice cold daggers, "I'm the spring spirit." Her voice came out venomous and Jack tried his hardest not to gulp down the fear, knowing full well that she must really be mad at all of the times he screwed up her new flowers. "And you really don't want to see what I can do when mad." Then she returned quickly to her sweet self and it was like the whole conversation didn't happen. Good thing Bunny wasn't up, or he'd have a great time today for sure.

About five minutes past and in comes another person he's never seen before. This time he's really well built, like a lumber jack for a teen, and has a somewhat boyish face. He'd be what the general female population would consider as attractive, but he holds the air of modesty and a hint of shyness. Dark orange hair crowded his head and hazel brown eyes scanned the living room. He wore a brown jacket over a black hoodie and dark blue jeans, while a dark green backpack hung loosely over one shoulder. Again, he looked no older than Jack, but with immortal teens it's a gamble to how old they actually are. Flora notices the newcomer and instantly brighten up the room as she jumped to give him a hug. "Veles! You finally made it!"

Veles smiles gently at her as they got out of the warm embrace, "Sorry Flo, the sprites hid my bag at the outback. Took me a while to find it." Though he made a reference to the country, he holds no accent to the land and instead holds the American one; which some would say is the old accent of the English.

When Tooth comes in with her other fairies with her, North starts the gathering by whacking Bunny on the back of the head to wake him up. "Everyone here? Good. Introductions should be first." He turns to the three teens in the room as the original great four stood in front of them.

Flora steps up first and curtsies, "It's an honour to be able to meet the four who bring children dreams. I'm Flora Rayn, the spring spirit." Her voice comes out dripping in honey as she timidly smiles, a habit she gained when she was a mortal. Jack held in his laughter.

Veles went up next, and bowed because of his gentlemanly upbringing, "My apologies for being late, but I am grateful to take part of this gathering. My name is Harvest. Veles Harvest of autumn. At your service." This time Jack couldn't hold it in, since Veles bows down and the baby tooth fairy swooned at his Prince Charming like behaviour.

Everyone had their eyes fixed on the chuckling winter spirit as he leans on his staff to keep him from falling to the ground. Jack calms down, amusement still coating his voice as he spoke, "What, you can't deny that that was THE most old fashion introduction ever. This is the modern day, and people are more laid back." He jumps and lands on his staff as it stands on one end, "Jack Frost, the spirit of snow and fun. A new Guardian." He adds as he smiles at the two other seasons. Suddenly he becomes serious as he turns to the other guardians, "All joking aside, what exactly was that thing that attacked me back in Ireland? I mean I sliced a lamp post straight down the middle in a second."

North looks at Jack with all seriousness, "Something attacked you?" Jack nods his head and Bunny supported his answer by nodding as well. "That is not good." North turns to Sandy and he nods knowing what North was asking of him. Sandy threw some of his golden sand in the air and pictures formed in front of the young group.

The golden sand swirled through the air as Tooth recites the story of legend. "You all might already know this, but this earth wasn't able to hold life before like it does now. Us guardians, besides North, were not from this planet and wouldn't have ever come here if it wasn't for the fearlings attacking and destroying our world." The sand showed multiple planets of different size and shape crumble from the inside out. "There was a great leader called Kozmotis Pitchiner and he lead the downfall of the fearlings." Another picture showed a man dressed in golden armor and fearlessly take down the foes. "Thanks to his leadership we were able to come here and his daughter was born. His daughter was able to make this barren lava waste land into what we have today." A small child is depicted and everything looked beautiful as life started to form. "This is what we called the Golden Age. When everything was balanced and everyone had nothing to worry about. However, all good things had to come to an end." The next picture is that of Pitchiner and his young daughter together looking happy, until a dark shadow tore apart the pair and Pitchiner was devoured by the shadows. "Then we lost out greatest hero to the fearlings and they've broke free from their chains. Bringing death, fear, sin and pain." A dark shadow fell upon the earth and the silent cries of a child could be heard. "The Earth turned cold then and nearly killed off everything. But even when the cold disappeared, there was still desperation and poverty for the mortals who evolved into thinkers." A quick flash forward of the times played and yet the people still looked miserable. "Then came the time of creativity and North came to be the new leader, with the help of Pitchner's daughter and the man in the moon. With that, the creation of the Guardians came to be and balance was finally restored again." Another flash showed the joy of people's faces as the Dark ages came to an end. But the legend didn't end there, it has yet another twist. It shows the girl again, but a little older and more refined. "Pitchiner's daughter took the name of Mother Nature as she took care of the planet and those living on the surface. With her, the planet has a chance of being saved from dying. But around the 1300s the bond between her and the Earth shattered because she lost her power." Mother Nature started to lose her glow and the sky turned gray for the next two cycles."The Earth reacted badly to the disconnection and the biggest volcanic eruption happened the day the bond broke. And the coming years would soon lead to what the humans know as the Great Famine and the Black Death." Again comes the pain and suffering the living creatures faced from the unbalance of the world "Of course Many couldn't have another world fall. So with what he learned from Mother Nature, he chose people to hold her power to restore the balance." There the final picture of the three season spirits from when they have first awoken. "It has taken time to find all of you, and until now the fearlings didn't even know that you all existed until Pitch fought with Jack." The sand soon faded away and the room returned to it's regular lighting.

Jack didn't like the fact that it sounded like it was his fault. "Why did they find us out when I fought Pitch?" Jack asked aloud and North gives him a comforting smile.

"It's not your fault Jack." North places a heavy hand on his cold shoulder, "We didn't know either. Manny just told us all of this last night, he thought that they wouldn't have found out since Mother Nature's power was spilt up into the four of you. He didn't think that her power was able to multiply and grow stronger until that blast you threw at him. Before they thought the three of you were just created for Manny's amusement, but now the big secret is out."

Tooth jumps in with a worried look. "They're targeting you, the four seasons, because you keep the earth balanced. If one of you dies, then the earth would be in total chaos." Sandy moves his arms to show an explosion and his mouth forms a small 'o' shape.

Bunnymund stands tall and crosses his arms. "That's why we're having you all gather together so that it wouldn't happen."

However, there was one thing they are greatly missing. "But there's only three of us. How about the spirit of summer?" Flora wondered aloud as she looks around the room.

The room falls silent as the three young immortals look at their elders. "You'll meet them soon enough." North ends it with that and motions for them to follow him to the hallway.
