"Aye! You ratbag!" a deep, mysterious voice shouted, "Get away from 'im!"
Pitch slowly rose from his position on the floor and stalked back over towards Jack.
"E. Aster Bunnymund. Long time no see my...friend." The word 'friend' was practically dripping with venom. He snaked an arm around Jack's waist and grabbed his face roughly with the other. "Unfortunatly, I was in the middle of some very...private matters. If you would kindly go?" His words were punctured with a tight squeeze around Jack's middle. "Unless you would like to participate? I assure you it will be quite...thrilling." At this Jack finally allowed he tears to fall and began to sob loudy.
"Please...please! Let me g-go!" Bunnymund slowly turned towards Jack. He slowly let out a shaky breath as his face turned back towards Pitch.
"You. Dare. Hurt. A. CHILD!?" His eyes flashed and he threw his boomerangs at Pitch. Pitch threw Jack at the nearest shadowman and whipped out a long shadow wall to protect himself.
"Why do you insist on helping this fool?" Pitch bellowed. "His power could be your undoing! He could kill you and yet you protect him? Why!?"
"Because he is child!" North stated. He and Sandy were slowly rising from the cage, it having been destroyed while Bunny and Pitch fought. Pitch glanced around, inspecting his surroundings. He knew he would never win against all of them at once.
"I shall be back dear Jack. Do not forget. I will hunt you down. Always. Until the end of time if I must. You are my dearest key. Remember..." His form slowly evaporated as North ran at him only to slash at nothing. Jack laid on the ground where he landed, trying to figure out just why his life turned out this way. As he lay and thought, his savior, Bunnymund is what Pitch called him, slowly crouched down until he was looking Jack square in the eyes. He had to be the most beautiful man Jack had ever seen. His grey-blue hair flowed past his shoulders, and his eyes, his eyes were an emerald green. The most beautiful and vibrant color Jack had ever seen. It was like springtime in his eyes. He propped Jack up in his muscled arms and Jack noticed the tribal-like tattoos on his arms and face. He was like the perfect man. But...on top of his head...lay the oddest things. Ever. Two, long bunny ears the same shade as his hair. With that sight, Jack passed out.
"H-hey! North! Sandy! HELP! What do I do?" North and Sandy only chuckled as their friend tried, and failed, to wake their new ally
