Aloha fellow readers! Thank you for the reviews for the last chapter, I was very happy with the ones I got :D I haven't got much time to talk here today because of A-Level work but I have a few announcements to be read on the bottom that are fairly important. CCupcakes to all and I hope you enjoy the chapter! Or maybe you won't like the outcome... ;)
Jack's breathing was deep and intense and his eyes were so wide, the whites could be seen all around. He didn't dare move an inch. He had frozen in his tracks and had a tight grip around his staff as he hadn't felt this scared in a while. He admitted it. He was scared.
"Kill her Harry…you know the spell," a distant voice whispered. Jack recognised the voice from his dreams. That was the Dark Lord talking to Pitch in his dreams! Oh sweet mother of Moon!
"Harry…" Jack whispered but Harry didn't even seem to hear him despite the distance between them. Chills ran up Jack spine as he felt the presence of the Dark Lord nearby. He need to het Harry out of there!
"She killed him…she deserves it…" the voice said and Harry clicked his neck as if something was right in front of him and in fear. Jack realised what the Dark Lord was doing. He remembered something like this with him and Pitch. The temptation to join Pitch and be believed in. It was so strong but he couldn't do it. Jack hoped Harry felt the same in this situation and from the hesitation Harry was getting, Jack could see that he was.
What Jack saw next made his jaw dropped. A misty figure slithered up behind Harry with a hissing noise as the black mist formed into a cloak, Jack finally saw Voldemort with his own eyes. "Ah crap," Jack whispered as he now saw Voldemort standing a little behind Harry. Bellatrix was even letting out an evil cackle.
"Do it!" Voldemort ordered in a hoarse and harsh tone of voice. Harry then seemed to snap out of his daze as he turned around to face the Dark Lord with his arm outstretched, only for his wand to be cast out of it with a single thrust of the Dark Lord's hand.
Jack had to breathe a sigh of relief since Harry didn't kill Bellatrix but now, the real fight was going to begin.
"So weak," Voldemort sneered. Alright, that was it!
"Hey, back off!" Jack shouted, then dashing up to Harry and standing by him with his staff at the ready. Voldemort then turned his gaze to Jack and gave a sinister smile.
"Ah Jackson isn't it? The so called Guardian of Fun?" Voldemort asked.
"So you've heard of me? That's good," Jack said with a grin.
"Is it?" Voldemort questioned.
"Yeah it is because I think you can guess what comes next!" Jack shouted suddenly and then fired a beam of ice directly at Voldemort, who countered it with a spell from his own wand. A blue beam from Jack's staff collided with the red beam from Voldemort's wand.
Jack was almost thrown back at the force the beams made when they collided. He even had to hold his staff with both hands and had to squint since the blast was creating a flurry of wind. Harry had been thrown back and was up on the black wall and was trying not to get hit by lightning bolts that Voldemort kept flicking at him from his wand whilst duelling Jack.
"Damn it, where's Bunny when you need him?!" Jack said in annoyance but thankfully he was getting the upper hand as he was now pushing the red beam back. Jack only then realised that Bellatrix had escaped in one of the nearby fireplaces in a flash of green flames.
Well that's one down at least, Jack thought. Finally, one more flick of staff sealed the deal as the ice beam was thrust at Voldemort but what happened next caught Jack off guard completely. As it was about to strike Jack, Voldemort seemed to grasp hold of the spell and with a flick of his hand and a quick breath, the ice expanded and flew upwards.
Looking at it in horror, Jack saw that it had transformed into a giant fire snake with a crackling tongue. Voldemort laughed in glee as Jack staggered back in fear of the fire breathing snake. Fire! It had to be fire!
"Jack look out!" Harry said, immediately coming to his aid with his wand back in his hand. As the snake came down, Jack bravely slashed at it, causing minimal damage to it but it gave him to scorch marks on his hands and burnt his hoodie.
Jack screamed in pain as the snake then caught him with his tail and flung him back against the wall where he crashed into it. Jack let out a groan as he felt something break before slumping down to the ground and landing on his stomach and his staff slipped out of his grasp. Despite his pain, Jack managed to look up and saw that Harry was down again.
As the snake was about to attack, a jet stream of water came out of nowhere and struck the snake which made it let out a huge shriek before it burst apart, causing fireballs to scatter everywhere. Jack had roll out of the way to avoid being hit but got a scorch mark to the face which wasn't at all pleasant but he did manage to get a hold of his staff again.
As he forced himself up, his eyes widened with shock. There, with all of his friends; Hermione, Ron, Neville and Star, was Dumbledore himself. He had thought that Dumbledore was sent to Azkaban! Guess you can't cage the most powerful wizard in the world.
As Jack skidded over to the front of the group, Star grinned at him. "Still alive I see?" she asked and Jack grinned.
"Can't get rid of me," he responded as Harry came over by him and Dumbledore. The Dark Lord frowned at the new recruits but he didn't seem at all afraid but seemed to focus his attention on Dumbledore.
"It was foolish of you to come tonight Tom. The Aurors are on their way," Dumbledore said calmly.
"By the time of which I shall be gone and all of you…shall be dead," Voldemort responded. Dumbledore was the first to move. As a blue light appeared from his wand, water from the nearby golden fountain came out and formed around Voldemort.
With a flourish of his hand, the water washed over Voldemort, who was about to attempt a spell, but thanks to the water, he lost control of his arm. He was now in a giant orb of water which Dumbledore was using his hand and wand to control.
"That's wicked," Ron breathed.
"I'll say," Jack said as he forced the others back a little. He didn't want them getting hurt as well as he had because the burns were killing him but he chose not to show any pain.
However, the water couldn't contain him long as it suddenly burst apart. Dumbledore was taken aback as Voldemort thrust out his arm, firing a black substance at Dumbledore, which was quickly deflected right back at him.
"Yeah!" Neville said in excitement.
"No wait!" Hermione said, making the smiled disappear instantly as she pointed over at the Dark Lord. As the black energy was being cast back at him, he seemed to be forming a blue and black pulse between his hands. As the last of the energy was cast back, Voldemort thrust open his arms with a scream as the pulse blasted out through the enter place.
Everyone was thrust back onto their stomachs and backs, where the shield themselves with their arms as all of the windows shattered and bits of glass rained down on them. "Ouch," Jack mumbled as he hit the side of his head in sttempt to stop the ringing sound inside his head.
With a grunt, Voldemort raised his arms up and as he did so, the glass followed suit as they floated up into the air and were shot directly at the small group. Jack was the first to react as he flipped himself up and slammed his staff on the ground and an ice wall was raised up high in front of them. The glass shards struck the wall and since they couldn't break through the ice, everyone was left untouched, making the Dark Lord scowl with anger.
Jack swiped his hand in front of him and the ice wall turned into white snow, which fell down to the ground. Everyone got up again and aimed their wands at Voldemort. "You cannot win Voldemort. It's finished," Jack said as he stepped forward.
"Leave now or else," Harry countered but the Dark Lord let out a chuckle.
"You can't win Guardian," Voldemort stated. "You'll do your spells and jump around but you are no match for me. I unleash the full fury of magic itself and you? Well actually I don't care what happens to you."
Jack was confused by his choice of words for a moment but as he heard a familiar sound of moving sand, it was too late to do anything. He whirled around, only to be smashed in the face with black sand and was thrust against the wall. His body pulsed in pain and he dropped down onto his knees and then his stomach and his staff slid out of his fingertips.
"Jack!" Ron cried in alarm and as Harry went to move, Voldemort disappeared in a flurry of black sand. Nothing happened for a moment, until Harry let out a groan of pain and dropped down on all fours.
"Harry?" Dumbledore asked, coming down beside him.
"What happened?" Neville asked in shock and Star gave a loud gulp and raised a finger.
"Why don't we ask them?" she asked fearfully. Everyone turned to see black horses with piercing yellow eyes coming out of the shadows.
"That looks like the shadow from the games," Ron said as he remembered the picture that Harry had shown him.
"Jack and Harry aren't in any state to fight as I fear something is corrupting their minds," Dumbledore said, placing a hand on Harry's shaking shoulder.
"That's why we're the backup," a voice said. Neville gasped with made the others gasp too as they saw the other Guardians coming towards them.
"You guys take cover. We'll handle this," North stated but Ron shook his head.
"It's as much our fight as yours. You can't stop us," Ron declared as he stood his ground.
"I agree completely," Hermione said, standing by him.
"Me too," Neville agreed, raising his wand.
"Me three!" Star said, raising her wand and a cupcake. Tooth and Sandy smiled at them all and they all turned to the nightmares who were even closer than before.
"If we're going down, we'll go down fighting," North said, gripping his swords tightly. "Albus, you stay with Harry and Bunny, stay with Jack," he added.
"Ready?" Neville asked and everyone nodded. "On three…" he began but Star was dense to that statement.
"To hell with three! Attack!" she screamed, charging at the nightmares with her cupcakes and ignited wand. Ron couldn't have agreed more as he ran after her with an equally loud yell. Everyone charged, firing spells and attacks as they went while Bunny hopped over quickly to Jack, who was groaning in pain on the ground.
"Jack? Mate, you okay?" he asked, turning him over so he was looking at his pained face but as his eyes opened, Bunny's own eyes widened in horror and he recoiled instantly.
"I've never been better," a yellow eyed Jack hissed menacingly.
