Elsa made good her promise to Jack and worked hard to get him a lawyer. Her father was to busy working another case be be able to represent Jack but he did recommended another lawyer, a friend of his to Elsa who he believed would be able to represent Jack's case. Elsa thanked her dad repeatably and instantly went to tell Jack.
"I got you a lawyer." Elsa said, walking into Jack's room.
"You did?" Jack asked, looking up from the book he was reading on his bed.
"Yes, his name is Aster Bunnymund and he wants to meet with you in a hour. Get dressed we are heading over to his office."
"What happened to your father, I thought you was going to try to get him to work my case?" Jack asked as he got up from his bed and started changing into some nicer clothes.
"I asked but he was to busy working another case, but trust me Aster is a great lawyer, my father recommended him himself. Now hurry up, the sooner we meet with him the better."
"Ok, Ok, I'm ready." Jack said getting his shows on. The two of them then walked over to Elsa's truck and Elsa drove to Aster's office.
Aster's office was on the clear other side of town, and for a city as big as Arendelle, that was a good thirty minute drive. Jack had to admit he was a little nervous because he wasn't sure if this Aster guy could get him off. But Elsa encouraged him and told him to trust Aster.
"He's one of the best in Arendelle. My dad knows him personally, the guy knows his stuff."
Hearing Elsa so calm and confident really helped Jack and by the time they reached to where Aster's office was he was ready to meet him. The two of them walked into the building and walked up the two flights of stairs that led to his office and knocked on Aster's door.
"Elsa, Jack, please come in." Aster said, motioning them to take a seat, Jack and Elsa obeyed.
"Let me start by saying that you are lucky to have a friend like Elsa, Jack." Aster said. He was a very tall man with gray hair, and a very thick Australian accent. "She volunteered to pay for the whole expense for you."
"She is a amazing woman." Jack said "So, you think you can get me my life back?"
"That is why we are here." Aster said "So tell me what happened that night."
"Well I don't know how much Elsa told you, but me and Elsa, as long as a few other friends were out drinking, we met a couple of guys from the Southern Isles, we started fighting, they attacked Elsa and I fought back to defend her. I sort of messed them up a little but I was just trying to defend Elsa. She has the injuries to back up my story, and witnesses, all I did was in self defense."
"I believe you Jack." Aster said "Which is why I am going to push hard to keep you from getting suspended by the NCAA. I am going to talk to them, explain your case, and I am also going to talk to your coach and tell him not to suspend you while this is investigation is going on. We are going to win this Jack. You are going to get your life back I promise."
"Thanks Aster." Jack said as he got up and shook his hand.
"Trust me Jack, I am going to make sure The Southern Isle doesn't win." Aster said "Now if you excuse me, I got a couple of phone calls I need to make."
Elsa and Jack know what he meant by phone calls and immediately left, feeling extremely confident about the situation. As soon as the two of them left, Aster got on the phone and called the NCAA and begged them not to suspend Jack, explaining to them his case. The NCAA agreed for the time being to not to suspend him while the investigation was still going on. But did say that, their decision could change if they felt needed. Aster thanked them and called Coach North and the athletics office and told them not to suspend Jack either, which North said suspending Jack was not even a option.
With the decision not to suspend Jack for the time being being made, Coach North held a press conference discussing the decision, which was met by many with harsh criticism.
Still despite the criticism of the decision, the decision was still final. Jack was going to play in the playoffs.
The playoffs had finally arrived. Arendelle's first playoff game was against the Caribbean Pirates. When Aredelle arrived to Caribbean University to face the Pirates, Jack could already feel the pressure that he was going to be facing. The Caribbean fans greeted him with a huge string of boos and many wore orange prison jumpsuits with Jack's name on it and held up signs that read "Don't hit us Frost." Jack would be lying if he said that all the taunting he was getting wasn't bothering him. But Hiccup told him to just block it out.
"Ignore them." Hiccup said "They want you to be intimidated they want you to fail."
"I'll try." Jack said
"Caribbean also has a Quarterback named Jack," Snotlout said "Jack Sparrow to be exact. But the fans call him Captain Jack Sparrow. I hear he's quite good."
"Well we are just going to have to be better." Jack said as the team got up and ran out of the locker room and onto the field. When Arendelle ran onto the field, Jack was once again met with a wave of boos. Jack also saw someone in the stands with a sign that said "Our Jack is better then your Jack"
"Ignore it." Jack said to himself, Hiccup's words running through his mind. "They want you to fail."
The Caribbean Pirates then stormed onto the field as canons where fired to welcome them. They were wearing all black Uniforms with red sleeves. A Pirate skull with a red headband and two swords crossed behind the skull was painted on their helmets. (Like the emblem from the Pirates movies.) Jack had to admit, they looked kind of intimidating.
"Calm yourself Jack" Jack told himself "They want you to fail."
Jack tried his best to calm his nerves but the second he stepped up for the first snap of the game his concentration was interrupted with a wave of boos from the stands. The noise was undoubtedly distracting and it caused him to blindly throw a interception to the waiting arms of a pirate which was ran back for a touchdown.
The crowd cheered as the Pirates scored first and Jack walked to the bench pissed off that he put the Reindeer behind early.
Jack was just lucky he had a good defense to back him up because he was struggling. The crowd was getting to him. The taunting, the insults, the ongoing boos. He was struggling hard, and kept on getting sacked. If it wasn't for Ralph and the defense the game would have been over by halftime. Luckily though for Jack and the Reindeer it was only 14-3 by the time the half ended. For Jack halftime couldn't have come soon enough because he needed to calm down and get his head back in the game.
In the halftime locker room he buried his head in his knees and cried hard. He had never been in a situation like this. He had never felt so much intimidation, so much hatred, from the opposing crowd. He didn't know how he was going to bounce back.
"Jack," Hiccup said in a calm and comforting voice walking up to him. "Buddy, look at me man." Jack lifted his head from his needs, his eyes red from crying and looked to his roommate who came to him in a comforting tone.
"Jack you got to drown out the crowds noise, otherwise you are going to fail."
"How? All I hear is them spitting the assault allegations at me. Calling me a thug, and a criminal and saying I should be locked up in jail. I have never dealt with things like this."
"This right hear is what Hans wants." Hiccup said "He wants you to fail, he wants you out of the game. That's why he set you up to attack those two players of him. He has been playing you like a chess piece this whole time. Those two players he sent you was just pawns that he was willing to sacrifice to get to you. You are the king, his whole purpose is to capture you. He knows he can't win as long as you are still on the board and he is scared. You cannot let him beat you Jack. You cannot let Hans win. You have come to far to let that happen.
Concentrate on us, on the team. Do not focus on the crowd, because if you do all you will hear is the hate they are spitting and it will cause you to stumble. Focus your attention on me, Flynn, Kristoff, your team, your friends. Drown out the distractions, the hate, and you will succeed."
Jack took in every word that Hiccup said. He was right. He had to ignore what the crowd was saying to him. If he was not going to let Hans win he had to drown out the crowd.
"I will." Jack said.
"Then get up and get us back in this game." Hiccup said
Jack stepped out onto the field as the second half started and opened up the first possession with a Hail Mary pass to Flynn, which he ran all the way for a touchdown. The crowd booed as Arendelle scored but Jack drowned them out. He was not going to let Hans win. He was not going to get knocked out that easy.
With Jack back to full speed the Pirates didn't stand a chance. The Pirates quarterback Jack Sparrow got sacked their very next possession and fumbled the ball, allowing Ralph to pick it up and run it back for a touchdown to take the lead.
Arendelle didn't look back after that, winning the game 24-14. Caribbean was pissed and booed him louder then they did the whole game as the clock ran out but Jack just brushed it off and pointed toward the scoreboard to spite them.
During the post game interview Jack was asked about how the allegations effected his game Jack basically responded it.
"I confess that it bothered me a little in the first half. But I learned that if I am going to be at the top of my game and lead my team to the championship that I got to drown out the allegations and focus on the big pictures. And the big picture right now is to win games."
Hans was watching the game from his office in the Southern Isle. He wore a deep scowl on his face as he watched Jack celebrated his victory and ignored the allegations.
"Enjoy your victory now Jack. I will have the final victory."
