After everyone was dry and warm again, the Triplets now being forced to stay by Elinor's side, the talk got to who each of the villains were and why they were villains to them.

"Well I think Blondie already told her reason for Gothel when we were going over who the prophecy was talking about," Eugene said getting nods of agreement from everyone.

"Mordu," Merida said taking an arrow out of her quiver "Was the Demon Bear of the forests of Dunbroch," she began getting everyone's attention "He used to be a prince of an ancient kingdom that was there long before ours was, but that's not the point. The reason why he's our enemy is because he tried to attack me once when I was six, and then kill me a couple of years ago when I um..." she said getting nervous, "When I did something I'll never forgive myself for. But we thought he was gone," she said looking to the Guardians confused.

"Alvin's our enemy," Stoick said in place of Hiccup "Because he, not too long ago tried to kidnap Hiccup so he'd teach 'im how to train dragons so he'd have a way to attack berk, and while he's at it all the other tribes in the Northern Archipelago."

"And finally," Jack said as if this was a joke "Pitch Black is our enemy, because he want to get the kids to stop believing and bring fear, and darkness to this world and the kids," he said almost reciting what Pitch said when he first joined the Guardians. "Pitch is the embodiment of fear you see," he asked halting any questions "It's his center, what makes him him, and when Pitch threatens the kids, he threatens us as well. The less the kids believe, the less power we have.
It's great being a Guardian, but there's a catch. The more kids that stop believing, everything we protect, Wonder, Hope, Dreams, Memories and Fun," he said pointing to the right Guardian "It all goes away, and little by little so do we. Along with our holidays, and dreams and Tooth's fairies who come in the night, and my winter."

"Why would anyone want to do things like that?" Rapunzel asked clinging onto Eugene's arm.

"The reason he gave, a few years ago, was ta be believed in," Bunny said answering her, giving Jack some rest while he looked away slightly and began to play with his snow. "Ya see he used to be one of the most powerful spirits there ever was, but then the Man in the Moon chose us," he gestures to himself, Tooth, North and Sandy "To replace 'is fear with wonder and light, distracting them from 'is fear by lifting the kids hearts and giving em hope."

"If it was only to get noticed," Snotlout said "Then he should of built a statue or something to get everyone's attention. You know like all black, and pointy, and reaching like twenty feet into the sky..." he was cut off by a snowball which hit him in the face and everyone turned to Jack breathing hard and looking as if he was trying not to cry.

"You think that would of worked Snotface?" Jack asked "You think people would of just noticed him just like that, just because something like that turned up in their towns and city's? You think people would of believed in him because they see that and right away make the connection it was the Boogieman that made that in a world where everything... Everything is pitch black?" Jack almost screamed as the temprature of the room was getting colder and colder.

"Jack?" Tooth asked softly reaching out but resisting "Is something wrong? Is there something you want to tell us?"

"Nothing's wrong Tooth," Jack said calming down after a bit. "I'm fine. I... I'm just going to go for a quick flight," he said walking over to the window and jumping out of it.

"And he's gone again..." Hiccup muttered getting a punch on the arm from Astrid and glares from everyone else.

Jack had only flown a short way from the Pole before he dug out his snowglobe and threw it into the air in front of him. When he came out he was in Antarctica standing right before a twenty foot tall spiky black sculptor breathing hard trying to forget how this was made and the words said when it was being made.

Sighing, he got down on the ground and stared up at it.

"What is wrong with me today?" he asked himself. "I'm never like this, I never strike out to my friends and yet I've just done it twice in the last two hours. What is wrong with me?" he asked scratching his wrists slightly. They had been feeling funny ever since Pitch pinned him to the wall in North's office.

Just then the neighing of horses sounded behind him and made him turn around to see a trio of Nightmares Pitch on the one in the middle.

"What do you want Pitch?" Jack asked slowly getting up staff in hand eyes on the Nightmares.

"Oh I only came to see if my favorite little Winter Spirit was alright after what that boy said back at the Pole," Pitch said a smile that would normally make you freak out on his face.

"And just how exactly do you know what was being said?" Jack asked tightening his grip on his staff "You and the others were gone." he said.

"Oh I have my ways Jack," Pitch said not getting off his Nightmare, the other two beginning to circle Jack. "So I heard that brat say something about if I made something like that lovely creation behind you, people will notice me. Too bad no one knows it's here right? And then there the fact that I only made half of it..." he said looking to Jack smugly.

"And it's going to stay that way!" Jack cried a cold wind coming out of nowhere. "If you're here for me to join you, you can forget it."

"Why Jack," Pitch said a hand on his heart (or where his heart should be) "Why must you assume that that is what I'm here for, right away? Please let me talk and then you can yell at me."

Thinking this was a trick like last time, Jack took a minute to think about it, but then nodded, lowering his staff but holding onto and tightening his grip on it.

"I heard that you might not want to give up your treasures the little rhyme is talking about. Right..." Pitch asked getting a small nod of agreement from Jack signaling that this was right. "Well what if I can say, I have a way for that never to happen? For you to hold on to your staff and your memories for ever but still stop us."

"I will say 'Yeah right'," Jack said back "You're not the kind of person to do things like that Pitch, especially if it means you might be able to rise to power because of it."

"If you say so," Pitch said shrugging then throwing something to the boy, it looked like some kid of skin cream "In case that itching gets any worse," Pitch said a slight smirk on his face before he and his Nightmares left.

After a bit, Jack decided it was time to go too and snowglobed back to the Pole.

In his lair Pitch was just coming back from his meeting with Jack a smirk on his face.

"Ya sure the brat will come over to us Pitch?" Alvin asked sharpening his axe, as Gothel was sharpening her nails loving the fact that they were on healthy unbony, unwrinkly, fair skinned fingers and hands, and Mordu was napping over in the corner.

"My dear Alvin this is just the way marketing works," Pitch said going over to his globe "You give the customer what they want, or need, let them test it, then when they want or need more they will come running to you begging for it. And by the way the boy was scratching himself and the news that he has already had two tantrums with his friends, I doubt we will need to wait very long."

AN If you've worked out the plot yet... good for you if you haven't you'll just need to wait a bit longer :)
