Me: *randomly skipping and humming the death march*
Vader: *eyeing me suspiciously* You seem... Cheerful...?
Me: Oh, yep. I am. Because I finally got Pitch off my back.
Vader: Ah... How?
Me: *grins, turning to humming another one bites the dust* You'll see... Oh, and a belated thanks to LunaTheLoneWolf for her fave of the fic! My e-mails went a little bleurgh, so I couldn't put it in the last chapter... And thanks to Just-A-Taste-Of-What-You-Paid, Xion5 (Thanks for faving me as an author too Xion!) and The Earth Elemental for the faves/follows! Anyhoooooowwwwwwwww... Err, yup. That is all... No doubt chaos will ensue at the end of the chapter, but who knows... we may yet be lucky! Enjoy the chap-
Vader: Bleurgh? Really?
Me: Mate, Grammer problems again? Ya need ta chill... seriously... Actually, let's make that literal. *whistles a very specific tune*
Jack: *suddenly flies in* Yo Rave, whaddya need?
Me: Vader needs to chill...
Jack: Literally?
Me: You know me far too well...
Jack: Yup... *suddenly hugs Vader*
Vader: *shivering slightly* What, by the force, was that for?
Jack: You needed to chill! Woah! Don't blame me! Blame MEC-
Me: JACK! NO GIVING VADER NAMES!
Vader: *cracks knuckles* Where can I find this MEC?
Me: … Actually, she's a guest reviewer so- NO! No trying to find her and choke her using the force! Honestly... Okay guys, enjoy the chapter (which is one of the longest yet to make up for the recent update delays) whilst I try to calm down the... irritated ex Sith Lord...
Jack snorted, trying to hold back a laugh. He couldn't help it. He'd head to the Pole as soon as he saw the lights, only to find that the 'emergency' was that North was in a shouting match with Pitch.
The other guardians were half ready to burst into the fight, half trying not to laugh at the pair, and even Tooth, ever the mature one in the group, had resorted to stuffing her hand in her mouth to stifle her giggles.
No to mention the fact that Pitch's nightmares were currently sauntering around, and one of them even gave what appeared to be a yawn... though Jack couldn't be certain. But come on, how could anyone be afraid of them? They were kinda cute if you thought about it... Kinda... In a dark evilly sorta way...
And the subject of the argument? What got Jack actually laughing outright?
Clicheness. Yup, they were arguing about how cliché Pitch was- in North's opinion- or how non cliche-in Pitch's-. Apparently, Pitch had come to start a fight, and had ended up being drawn into a verbal sparring match.
They both span as he started to try and get his breath back, gasping from staying silent for so long, and Pitch gave him a deathly glare.
"What do you find so amusing Frost?"
"You... Man, you couldn't be more cliché if you tried! Evil, darkness... take over the world... chaos... shadows... evil horses that are actually kinda cute-"
"CUTE!?" Pitch looked thunderous, and even the other guardians looked at him as though he had gone mad.
"Oh..." Jack said, a little put out, "Can no-one else see it? Look... There little wavy manes... their... Oh, I dunno. I just think they're awesome... Yet evil... But cool... In a bad way... "
Pitch turned to North.
"Do you understand this?
North shook his head.
"For once we are in agreement..."
Pitch snorted.
"Not likely."
Upon noticing the other guardians, and seeing Jack twirling his staff as he leant against one of the workbenches, he resorted to plan B.
Disappearing.
Jack gave a small disappointed sigh.
"And there was me thinking this day might be fun after all... Ah well, things to do, places to go, people to see and snowy fun to spread... Bye guys!"
With that, he flew off, leaving the others to share looks and decide, without the need for words, that maybe it was best not to ask.
Later that morning, Jack grinned as he dodged a snowball thrown by Jamie, before blinking as a trail of nightmare sand tried to twist around his ankle.
He raised an eyebrow as dozens of nightmares surrounded him and the kids, who all looked at him with almost bored expressions, clearly telling him to get a move on so they could get back to the game. He grinned, almost lazily sending out a wave of blue that destroyed the nightmares, blinking slightly as he recovered from the momentary drain, before grabbing a snowball and aimlessly throwing it over his shoulder, hitting Claude on the head and reigniting the snow war, though none of them was aware of the yellow eyes that watched them for a second longer from the shadows before vanishing.
Now Pitch had an idea to finally get rid of that damned winter guardian... But could it work? Only one way to find out...
_
Jack was drifting across Asia, controlling a light snowfall here and there, when he found himself, once again, surrounded by nightmares.
He glared at Pitch.
"Three times in one day? Don't you have any thing better to do? Anyone else you could annoy?"
Pitch smirked.
"Not when I finally have a way of defeating you..."
Jack sighed.
"Have we not been over this? Like... A lot? And how many times have you failed?"
"But this time, I see no guardians around... So what happens when I hit you at your weakest? Say... when you're recovering after each attack...?"
Jack blinked. Ah... That might be a bit of a problem- Too late.
As one, dozens of nightmares attacked, and he eventually had no choice but to send out an explosion... But, even as he was recovering from it in those minute moments afterwards, Pitch sent another wave of nightmares at him, which he was too slow to dodge.
He found himself falling, focusing on fighting off the nightmares that threatened, and keeping a firm hold on his staff, trusting the wind to carry him as he couldn't focus on flying and fighting at the same time as fighting unconsciousness.
Huh... As instinct took over, Jack couldn't help but think that maybe he should have seen this coming... And prepared for it... It was only a slight moment after each blast, but it was, apparently, long enough for someone to get past his defences if they knew what to look for.
Apparently, Pitch knew what to look for.
Jack only had time to sigh about the irony of it all, when the nightmares suddenly branched off, and he turned just in time to shield his face from the oncoming roof.
Smashing through some vaguely familiar green tiles, he found himself slowing just enough for him to roll and avoid the worst effects of the fall, before he ended up colliding with a wall.
Dust and pieces of green stone were still falling from the ceiling, and Jack suddenly felt tired.
Typical, seeing as Tooth chose this moment to enter, wondering what on Moon had happened to her palace.
"Jack!?"
"Seems the wind... thought I needed... a short-cut..." He managed, adrenaline going down and starting to yawn. "And it seems... Pitch found... a little weakness..."
"Pitch? Wait Jack! Come on Sweet-Tooth... stay awake..."
Well, he gave himself credit for trying, but his body didn't seem to want to obey his mind, and he found himself drifting off.
Tooth sighed as she grabbed one of North's orbs, which, thankfully, she had scooped up on hearing her palace being torn up-she was still wondering how on Moon the wind had managed to carry Jack through the magically enforced building- and threw it, shouting the Pole as her destination.
Then, letting Phil, who jumped through as soon as he saw the pair, take Jack, she left one of the other fairies in charge, Baby Tooth having demanded to go with her before flying off with Jack and Phil, and ran to find North.
_
North was frowning.
"So Jack said Pitch found weakness?"
"Which most likely explains why he ended up crashing through the roof and smashing into a wall. It must have been bad if the wind decided to take that kind of action."
"Da... We will have to wait until he wakes to get full story though."
In fact, they had to wait a full three hours before Jack finally woke up.
Baby Tooth told him that just before shooting off to fetch the rest of the guardians, Bunny and Sandy having arrived and been rather... surprised to hear that someone had decided to make a new entrance into the Palace. Then again, they had argued, it was Jack they were talking about...
Jack groaned as Baby Tooth left.
Three hours? Wow... So this was what happened if he never had time to recover after each time he blasted at stuff... He'd always wondered.
Three hours? The very worried guardians, never having seen Jack unconscious for any longer than a couple of hours before, were even more worried when they found he was still slightly groggy. And it came as no surprise to any of them when Tooth ignored his insistence that he was fine, and pestered him until it got to the point where Baby Tooth had to tug her away.
Jack frowned as they asked what had happened, and then about what the weakness was that he'd spoken about.
"Well, it's something that no-one's picked up on before... Every time I do a powerful blast- like that time after I first became a guardian?- I have a quick drain. It normally only lasts a second or so, but Pitch managed to hit me with more nightmares at that exact moment, and I hadn't recovered enough to fight them off."
"But what about first time? You were fully unconscious."
"I was unused to doing it then, and my body wasn't expecting it. Its gotten so normal for me to just blast at nightmares on a regular basis now that my body seems to be used to it."
Bunny raised an eyebrow.
"Maybe, but apparently so's Pitch. And we can't have this happening every time you two run inta each other. Which, seein' as Pitch hates you, is gonna be regularly."
Jack narrowed his eyes at him.
"If you make just one baby sitting remark-"
"Woah, calm down mate, I wasn't gonna!"
"But he's right..." Tooth butt in, and Jack sighed, crossing his arms as he flopped back against the headboard of the bed as the others discussed the best way to keep him out of trouble...
_
Apparently, the best way was having Sandy follow him... Yippee... Jack thought, rolling his eyes as the golden guardian made attempts as being subtle about it.
Which were shot to Moon as Jack got tired of it and formed a snowball, hitting Sandy directly in the face. Which earned him a half serious, half amused lecture about being mature. And it was all in charades and sign language, which made it even better.
They actually became so involved in their mock argument that it was only Jack's quick reflexes and the wind which managed to alert him in time to duck a blast f nightmare sand.
Four times in one day? Seriously?This was a new record...
Of course, the nightmares immediately head for Jack, who, of course and at Sandy's nod, simply created another blast. But, before Pitch could act on the momentary weakness, Sandy had struck down the nightmares that went to attack him, giving him long enough to recover.
Pitch smirked as he looked between the two of them.
"Ah, I see... So now the great Jack Frost needs a body guard?"
Jack glared at him.
"Nah. Its just no fun if there is no-one around to witness your inevitable humiliation."
Pitch kept up the smirk, which was really starting to annoy Jack, for a few seconds longer, before laughing.
"Well, they can't always be there Frost..."
Then it was Sandy's turn to speak, in his own way. Not bothering with the mime, he simply spelt his message in the air.
"Wanna Bet?"
Pitch laughed again before vanishing, and Jack frowned.
"He's got a point. I can't keep you guys away from your work all the time. And I can't stand being watched all the time. Maybe there's a way I can work the blasts so it takes less energy..." Jack broke off into mumbling, and Sandy sighed.
There was absolutely no point in trying to pin Jack down...
Jack stopped his musings, a short while later, to watch as Sandy started pouring out dreams again, becoming, as he always did, completely absorbed in the swirling patterns that were forming out of the golden sand.
A couple of hours later, and Sandy finally stopped the flow of sand, leaning back and floating on a golden cloud, before signing to Jack.
Surely the best place to practice with your powers is the warren? Pitch would never go there.
Jack blinked.
"Huh. That's not a half bad idea..."
Sandy huffed.
Of course it's not. No need to sound so surprised...
"Err... Oops?" Jack shot him a wide, innocent grin, which turned Sandy's frown into a smile- even though he had tried countless times to build up a similar resistance to the look as the others had without prevail- before starting to fly to the ground.
Where are you going?
"To take a short cut."
Mind if I tag along?
"Err... Sure? Because you can't possibly be worried about itch having hacked into the tunnel network..." Jack said this with a dead set straight face, and Sandy shrugged with just as serious an expression.
I just want to see Bunny for a bit...
Jack sighed as he opened a tunnel, letting Sandy jump down, before following.
He grinned as he felt the welcome rush of air, that was the warren's way of saying hello, before instinctively landing in a crouch as he hit the ground.
Half an hour later and he was, not for the first time that week, trying to find a way of blasting at things without making himself feel drained. It turned out that the small blasts didn't weaken him, and it was only when he did the larger, stronger blasts, that it affected him. He rolled his eyes at the irony of it. All of this new power and what not, but he was still limited in what he could do... Or rather, by the recoil of what he could do.
If only there was a way he could channel energy through himself in some way and not tire himself out or.. or maybe... It was all 'Maybe' and it was getting on his nerves.
He started pacing to and fro, and Bunny, when he checked in on him, winced.
He was pacing on the ground... He definitely needed a break...
"Oi! Frostbite? Why dont'cha take five, eh?"
"So I can be followed around again?" Jack asked, glaring at him, before cursing under his breath and pacing again. "Moon, I hate Pitch. Seriously..."
"It took ya this long ta get ta that point?
"Nope. Its just at this moment of time, I am particularly loathing him."
"Ah..."
"... I'm going to go and make a snowstorm somewhere. Maybe over the woods where that entrance to his damned lair is."
"Uhuh... Mind if I tag along? That could be funny to watch..."
Jack muttered something about 'over protective rabbits from space' before shrugging. "Whatever."
As a matter of fact, it was rather fun.
Especially when Jack froze the entrance over with a layer of ice just as a nightmare was about to exit, causing it to fly head-first into the rock hard surface.
Bunny grinned, even as he grabbed Jack's hood.
"That was a scout. Move it Frostbite!"
They both opened a tunnel away from the place, and Jack was still grinning as he looked around to where Bunny had dragged them to. At which point he raised an eyebrow at him.
"Why are we at the lake?"
"First place I thought of where there isn't something or someone you can annoy."
Instead of answering that, Jack formed a snowball and threw it at him, before flopping to the ground.
"Hmm... I'm gonna have to get the snow out here soon..."
"Doesn't it always snow out here anyway?"
"Yeah... But this time I can do it without annoying the other seasonals."
"Oh... And there was me wanting ta rage at one of them again."
"You kidding? I've only heard rumours abut what you and North said to Fall, but since then, no fall spirit but Flow has come anywhere near me."
"You're welcome." Bunny said, with a grin, and Jack rolled his eyes.
"And who's the mature one?"
"Hey, I'm more mature than-" Bunny blinked, cutting himself off as he heard something, just as the wind ruffled Jack's hair, urgently, in warning.
"Pitch." Jack near enough growled as he said it. "Seriously, five times in a day-"
"It's evening-"
"Don't interrupt me when I'm raging."
"... Noted."
"Five times in a day, and he still is not bored? Seriously!"
Pitch, of course, chose that moment to appear, smirking.
Jack crossed his arms.
"Seriously? Still smirking? Have you got nothing better to do?"
"When I am so close to defeating you? Not at all Frost."
He raised an arm ready to order the nightmares to attack, when he found himself choking from where an egg bomb exploded. Bunny, grinning at Jack's 'Not half bad' expression, turned his expression into a glare as he looked at Pitch.
"Back off Pitch. You're not getting near him."
"Oh really? Attack!" This was to dozens of nightmares that had formed behind them, which now rushed them.
Instinct had Jack destroying them, and instead of spinning, he waited the minute fraction of a second for Bunny to jump back to back with him, as he had no doubt he would. In fact, Bunny had moved even before the taught had finished forming in Jack's head , and was now back to back with him.
Jack smirked at Pitch, who had not had the chance to send his second wave of nightmares as Bunny moved.
"Ya know, I've come to like being part of a team."
Pitch found that he had nothing to say to that, and simply vanished, leaving Bunny to raise an eyebrow at Jack.
"Did the infamous Jack Frost just count himself as part of a team?"
"Haven't I been doing that ever since I joined you guys?"
"I dunno... Have ya?"
"Ever since you shrank to the size of an adorable yet normal bunny rabbit."
"Huh. That long?"
"Err... Okay, maybe a bit after that. But I just wanted to bring it up. Because it annoys you."
"... Shut it Frosty."
"Ouch. Snap..."
Back in the warren, Jack immediately got back to work on figuring out some way of keeping himself ready in a fight, and his mind drifted back to the storing power idea.
He frowned as he riddled something out, then blinked, rapidly forming one of his ice crystals, before reaching out to it. Relaxing himself, he reached out towards it, and tentatively, at first, then with greater speed, he started pooling a small amount of energy into it, with the thought that, if he could take it back after he blasted something, he would not have the weakened state.
He wasn't even sure if it could work like that, but it was worth a shot...
But how much power could he store exactly? Maybe-
The thought was cut off as the crystal exploded, throwing him backwards.
He blinked as he sat up again, a few moments later, only to see that the explosion had iced over several of the surrounding trees. Huh... A lot apparently. Thing was, it really hadn't felt like all that much...
A sharp, worried gust of wind blew through his hair, and a warm current of air from the warren- though he was surprised that it seemed more worried than annoyed- had him verbally assuring his surroundings that he was fine, before he shoved himself to his feet, just as Bunny arrived.
The Pooka blinked, looking between the ice and Jack.
"A'right. What did ya do this time, Frostbite?"
"Tried to store energy in ice. Apparently, I stored too much. Hey, these could make awesome grenades!"
"... I'm not even gonna ask."
Not that Jack could have answered. He was too busy thinking about everything that exploding blocks of ice could entail. It eventually took a light whack across the head for him to break out of this train of thought, and shoot Bunny a disarming grin.
"Yes? No? What did you want? Or Say?"
"Well, I want North to admit Easter is better than Christmas. I want Pitch to go hide under a bed somewhere and never show his ugly mug again. I want ya to stop pranking me and turning my warren into a winter wonderland. And though none of that'll ever happen, it's all more likely than you being careful, so what is the point in even asking ya to be?"
Jack blinked.
"Err... Coconut."
"What?
"I had no idea what you just said, so I figured I'd be better of saying Coconut than just saying 'say wha'?'"
"... Just be more careful? Seriously, I hear an explosion, then the warren near enough goes into a full blown panic about ya. Which makes me beyond paranoid that you've actually gone and caused a rockfall or something equally likely to seriously hurt you."
"Ah... Sorry? And err... Thanks? I think?"
"Forget it... Anyhow, how did ya do that again?"
Jack rolled his eyes at the not-at-all subtle change in conversation, and gave Bunny an example, this time prepared for the explosion, and managing to control it. Huh... And that didn't lave him feeling drained at all... maybe because he was in contact with all the power and not sending it all away from himself? In that case... Could he actually manipulate it to create a physical shield?
Sandy when he dropped by a few hours later, blinked as he saw Jack use blue energy from an explosion to create a shield that managed to hold for a couple of seconds before dissipating.
Huh... The kid had clearly been at work...
A conclusion which was supported by the iced trees that surrounded him.
Bunny, however, was not all that bothered about it, caring more about the fact that Jack was finally doing something more on the defensive than the offensive.
Clearly the winter spirit was taking this seriously, and Sandy and Bunny shared a look as he gained even more control over the explosions.
At this rate, who knew where his limits were?
It was only a bit later that Bunny decided that North and Tooth might actually want to see this and went to fetch them both, only to have Tooth fret over how dangerous it was. Which resulted in her getting a snowball over the head.
Courtesy of Bunny.
Much to Jack's delight.
Of course, this devolved into a snowball fight, in which Jack- who had been staying out of it till a snowball from Tooth accidentally hit him- teamed up with Bunny and Sandy and subsequently buried the other two in snowdrifts.
Tooth sighed as she dragged herself out, her and North sharing a look.
"Twice in as many weeks..." She said, sighing, and making a solemn oath to never drag Jack into a snowball fight again... if he was on the opposing team that is.
_
The following morning, Jack, who had ended up falling asleep in a tree in the warren, found himself waking up on a, surprisingly comfy, sofa.
Yawning, he cleared his head and leapt up, stretching slightly.
He let the wind lift him up, drifting outside, to find Bunny sketching.
Silently floating over, keeping out of sight, he peeked over his shoulder and blinked at the little patterns, clearly for the next years batch of eggs, that had been sketched there.
"Nice."
Bunny, to his credit, simply blinked as Jack appeared, hovering in front of him, upside down, and grinned.
"Thanks. You know you slept for a full twelve hours?"
Now it was Jack's turn to blink.
"Twelve hours?!"
"To be fair, you had five encounters with Pitch yesterday."
"Yeah, but still... Twelve hours? Oh, and that sofa is surprisingly comfy."
"Glad you thought so. Next time, try not to fall asleep in a tree?"
"If you insist... Hey, reckon Pitch'll try again today?"
"Most likely."
"Good. I have a plan that I think will surprise you."
"Really? I doubt that..."
"Challenge accepted."
"I hate it when ya say that." Bunny said, getting to his feet, and Jack grinned as he span himself upright.
"hen don't say the word doubt..."
Bunny smirked at that.
"So if I said I doubt you could keep quiet and not speak at all till the next time we see Pitch...?"
Jack glared at him.
"That's just rude. But just to prove a point? I'm going to say challenge accepted."
Bunny grinned.
"This is looking to be a decent day... And it's not even noon yet."
Jack glared at him, but didn't say anything, causing Bunny to grin even wider, before tapping a tunnel to the Pole.
Jack followed suit, and was lucky enough to run into Sandy. After giving Bunny a shrug and grin , he started a sign conversation, to which Sandy ended up in a laughing fit.
Jack rolled his eyes. Really? Who would have thought knock knock jokes in sign language could be so funny...?
To be fair, after a couple of hours, the novelty of the silence had worn off, and they were, all four of them, wondering when they had gotten so used to Jack's constant jokes and general mischievous voice... Because they were actually getting rather spooked by the lack of it.
Jack, on the other hand, was actually enjoying himself. He'd never have guessed that being silent could be so fun...
Even Bunny was getting spooked by the lack of mischief and joking and eventually got to the point where he hopped to his feet.
"I'm bored. Who wants to go track down Pitch?"
They all fell over themselves to agree, even Tooth who was normally against putting her 'ickle sweet tooth' in dangerous situations, and they all head out. Jack was still silent, but grinning wickedly at them as he floated along beside them.
Bunny was so paranoid by it, that the fact that he was in the sleigh didn't bother him in the slightest, and he near enough jumped when Jack landed next to him, still grinning.
They were actually happy to land, after catching sight of some nightmare sand and following it, and come face to face with Pitch.
North sighed in relief.
"Oh, thank Moon. Now you can speak, Da?!"
Jack grinned.
"I suppose..."
They all, to Pitch;s complete bemusement, sighed in relief, before facing Pitch.
Bunny glared at him.
"Why do ya have to be so hard ta find? Seriously! All you had to do was try ta attack the Pole! That was all ya had ta do!"
Pitch simply stared at them all, before turning to Jack.
"What?"
"Apparently life sucks without me."
"I happen to disagree."
"How would you know?
"Life was more pleasant without you."
"Gee, thanks."
"Oh, scrap the chat."
A sudden burst of nighmare sand had Jack ducking, then he sighed.
"Bunny?"
"Yeah?"
"Do me a favour?
"What?"
"Lend me your boomerang."
Bunny blinked, but handed it over.
"Err... Frostbite? What're ya-"
Jack interrupted his question y throwing the boomerang, and hitting Pitch in the head, knocking him over backwards and sending him tumbling down a hill, where he finally came to a halt before glaring at Jack, deciding it wasn't worth the effort and vanishing in the shadows.
Jack handed the boomerang back to an astounded Pooka.
"Thanks."
"... No Problem."
"See? Told you my plan would surprise you. In future I'll just carry my slingshot or a bow around or something. Won't even have to face the nightmares..."
The rest of them all blinked, sharing looks and asking themselves why they had never thought of that before, before Jack looked around and blinked, a surprised grin coming over his face.
"Hey! This isn't too far from where Flow lives... You guys mind I I take off?"
They all shared looks again, and Bunny literally shoved him.
"Just go Frostbite. I'm going to try and sleep and get rid of the headache Ive got."
"Aww, am I really that bad?
" 're worse mate."
"Perfect. Now I have to go collect on a bet I had with Shady."
"What bet?"
"That I could annoy you to the point where you had to go lie down."
"... Just move it ya dill."
"Already gone!"
Sure enough, with a leap he had vanished into the trees above them, and Bunny sighed
"Well, I'm tunneling. See you guys later."
As soon as he left, the others shared a look.
"So much denial..." They said in unison, before Tooth took off, as did Sandy, and North leapt into his sleigh and taking leisurely ride back to the Pole, only to find that the elves had stuck themselves to each other with magically reinforced glue and were now rolling about the place in a huge ball.
Just another average day in the life of the guardians then...
Now, a line from a review given by Dark Inu Fan that made me smile... Hope it makes you laugh too!
''So, if they bury Jack up to his neck in a snow pile, does that make him Frost-y the snow-man?''
(Burn Jacky boy :D) Any of the rest of you have various names/jokes/ anything that might make for some interesting footnotes? I still need some nicknames for Ice Black... Lol :D I afraid that he still hasn't returned, so I have no doubt that I'm going to have to go and break both him and Luke- and No doubt Mr Solo- out from wherever they have got themselves locked up... *sigh*
Vader: I could do that ya know...
Me: Yeah, but you would terrify anyone you came across- Oohhh... Sure, go right ahead... Don't be too long though?
Vader: Sure thing. *heads to the hangar bay and the beginnings of his journey to track the Millennium Falcon...*
Me: Ah... Right... What to do now then? *muses on this for quite a while, until I suddenly get an idea* Ooh... *rubbing hands together gleefully* This is going to be great- *blinks as Vader suddenly appears, dragging Han with one hand, Ice Black with another, and with a very happy Luke strolling along behind him*
Me: *realising they have been in one hell of a brawl* What on Moon Happened?!
Vader: Well, I tracked the Falcon to the Hutt's palace... then borrowed a couple of orbs from North and calibrated them to do universal jumps, then went in... Then started a fight, then subsequently won the fight, then opened another portal and came back.
Me:*Blinking* All in the space of... HALF AN HOUR!?
Vader: Well... I am one of the most powerful beings in the Star Wars universe... and Luke was there too, so, to be fair... It really was not all that hard...
Me: … Show-off... Hey Luke.
Luke: Hey.
Me: Han.
Han: Raven...
Me: How did you get captured this time?
Han: Hey! It wasn't me this time! It was that moron over there. *gestures to Ice Black *
Me: Ah... I can understand that... Oh, wait, I have the perfect way of getting Miss Chrissie-
Vader: Nice one.
Me: Yup, and it was from MEC, so do you forgive her?
Vader: I suppose...
Me: Right... Anyway, I have the perfect way of getting Chrissie Fur-Panini- courtsey of Rats x for that one- back for that.
Ice Black: I do have a name you know...
Pitch: Yeah, AND I EXIST!
Me: I KNOW! YOU JUST GOT YOUR ASS WHUPPED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST CHAPTER! AND I CAN SHOUT TOO! SO YEAH!
Pitch: *shuts up*
Vader: *grins, looking fairly proud of me*
Han and Luke: *look eager*
Luke: What is this vengeance you speak of?
Vader: Luke, vengeance is on the path to the Dark Side.
Luke: Meh, if Raven can get you back from there, Im sure she can do the same with sweet innocent old me.
Han: Ya hang around with me kid...
Luke: … Point Taken... I'll be good!
Me: *Grins * Men... Anyway, Vader? If you will?
Vader: Gladly...*Hoists Ice Black up using the force, then spins him again*
Me: That never gets old... Till the next chapter then guys! *gets back to thinking about my idea...*
M- Army of Ice Skating Elves really does open a whole host of possibilities, doesn't it? Lol :D
hacker44- Glad to see you are enjoying the fic! Hopefully the updates aren't going too slowly for you :D Anyway, as soon as you get an account, let me know! And it was indeed nice to virtually meet you :D
(Oh, and yup. Vader's been upgraded to second in command, though I don't think he's figured that out yet... And he's gotten use to handling me, so Im all good :D) Oh, one more thing... ''- i only know how to do things three ways. The right way, the wrong way, and my way. Which is really the wrong way only faster!'' Dude, so true :D
MEC- Huh... Then was it also fangirl heaven when he was dressed in Rambo style? Or Ninja style? Or... the leather jacket...? Lol :D And hint taken buddy :D Prank war should be in a couple of chapters time, and let me know if you have any prank ideas!
Oh and Daddy Vader? *looks furtively around to make sure Vader isn't anywhere near* I know right!? *tiny spueal* Sooooooo cute! And sure, I'll give him another hug... I suppose... And lol, Miss Chrissie *sniggers* and nicely done with the pitchy wtch :D
And you end the reviews fine :D Always makes me laugh, Lol :D And lets just call it a gut instinct, eh?
