It was another tiring day at Toothiana's palace in the mountains, fairies swooping through the early morning air like escaped sun beams, putting teeth in the thousands of holders covering the walls.

Toothiana herself was watching Jack Frost, who lounged on a small sofa, long limbs splayed out, idly drawing patterns on the floor in frost. 

"Go to Sandiego! Go to Seattle! You, you, and you go to Phoenix!" Toothiana says quickly to the fairies around her moving back and forth and barely taking a breathe. "Okay now you... don't do that. You girls, pull yourselves together!" She says to some of the fairies watching Jack in a dreamy gaze. "Go to Denver! Hi Jack." Toothiana finally managed to greet Jack as she took a breathe, he wings fluttering behind her. 

" What's up?" Jack said, waving dismissivly, drawing patterns on the walls with his staff. 

He was uneasy, and visiting his friend wasn't helping: the chaoticness of the tooth palace...

it didn't help. 

He stood to leave, but a rumbling made him stop.

He turned, his hair fluffing out, a few fairies bonking into each other as they watched him, red facedly returning to work.

Bunnymund came out of one of his infamous warren tunnels, fear in his eyes. 

" Mates, we got trouble brewin'." 

He pulled a shred of dark cloth from his pouch, and held it up in one paw.

" Is that..." Began Jack, realization dawning. 

" You got that right, mate: Pitch Black's robe." 

Which went over like an elf in a church service. 

"Pitch?" Toothiana asks in disbelief. 

The fairies around Toothiana became very silent and stopped fluttering around.

"It's okay girls... um.... Go to Helena! Go to Salt lake City! Go to- Jack... are you okay?"

Toothiana asked as she saw Jack looking confused.

Jack stared off into the distance, where dawn broke over the mountains surrounding the palace.

" Pitch... it can't be. We defeated him, gone for good! "

Bunnymund's green eye's held sympathy, but his voice was harsh: " Everyone has fear, mate. Now bugger off that look: we need to prepare." 

Jack eye's glassily reflected the room as he followed Toothiana and Bunnymund down the hall, where Tooth's globe was. 

Bunnymund spoke in a hushed tone: " He ok? Looks like some one kicked him .":

"I don't know... He seems to-" Toothiana says but get's distracted as one of the fairies flew in, in panic.

"What's wrong?" Toothiana asked, the fairy started peeping in panic. 

"What do you mean the group disappeared?!?" Toothiana asked in panicked tone.

Jack and Bunny look up in concern.

Jack was worried: the last time, Pitch had gone after the fairies. 

" what's up?" 

Bunnymund scratched his long ear with his left foreleg, waiting for Toothiana's fairy to tell them what was up. 

"All of my fairies that went to Anaheim are gone! All of them, they just disappeared!" Toothiana said pacing back and forth.

"I-I don't know what to do... I can't call off the fairies, but what if more go missing?" Toothiana says her eye's glittering with tears whelming up in her eye's.

"No, for right now just-just keep business as usual... but please be careful!" Toothiana responds to her fairy.

Toothiana kept pacing, rubbing her arms, in panic. "I-I don't know what to do..." Toothiana says to herself.

Jack laid a hand on Toothiana's shoulder, and she ignored the frost that formed as he spoke. 

" We'll figure this out... we'll get North's snowglobes..."

" ahhh, no go, mate" Bunnymund cut in. " North's still on vacation in Florida."

Jack rolled his eyes, frost forming on his sweater like it always did when he was annoyed. 

" We'll figure something out!" 

He didn't mean to bite, but he was stressing over this Pitch thing. 

" Mate, what exactly do you have planned?" 

Jack smiled, a twinkle in his blue eyes. 

Bunnymund didn't like that twinkle one bit. 

Toothiana looked up at Jack with her eye's watering, quickly rubbing a tear from her left cheek.

"Jack what is your plan? Please tell me, I need to make sure my fairies are safe!" Toothiana said in a desperate tone.

Sandy came in and quickly got everyone's attention, the outlining of Pitch formed with his dreamsand was above his head

Jack turned to Sandy, eyes wide. 

" So it's true then." 

He looked at Toothiana, that old gleam of mischief in his eyes. 

" Tooth, we're gonna need some fire power. " 

He grinned. 

" Still got Pitch's tooth?" 

"Uh... yeah! Let me go get it!" Toothiana quickly flew off and within seconds came back, with Pitch's tooth in her hand.

"Here it is, Pitch's tooth." Said Toothiana handing the tooth to Jack.

Some of her fairies came fluttering in. "Please tell me everything is alright!" Toothiana said as the fairies were around her.

"Okay, keep track of who's returning and leaving!" Toothiana ordered after the fairies reported their progresses.

"Now... what's your plan?" Toothiana said turning to Jack, Sandy nodded and smiled in agreement.

Jack grinned, then took hold of the tooth. 

He froze it over, and threw it at the ground, where it shattered into particles. 

A hole formed, a deep hole...

 a hole to pitch's lair. 

" Mate, how'd you...?"" Teeth hold memories.... this was Pitch's. "

He grinned, and swallowed, his Adams';s apple bobbling. 

" That... and I winged it." 

"Good going Jack!" Toothiana said excitedly as the hole opened.

Sandy then formed a "Cautions sign" Above his head, noting us to becareful.

"You are coming with us, aren't you Sandy?" Toothiana asked, but Sandy quickly nodded and got next to Bunny.

"Let's go, I need to stop him from taking anymore of my fairies!" Toothiana says angrily as she dives in, she grabs the collar of Jack's jacket in the process taking him with her. Bunny and Sandy both dove in after them.

" Tooth! Hey!" Jack yelped, as the fell into the darkness of Pitch's lair, the old cages he'd kept the fairies in a year ago swinging eerily, creating strange shadows on the walls. 

Toothiana took off, exploring the sleeping chambers that branched off from the main floor. 

" We split up: Sandy, take the east, Bunny, west. I'll check here." 

A check mark appeared over Sandy's head as he took off, and Bunnymund sharply saluted. 

Jack looked at the cages, swinging like hung men in the breeze, and shivered, then walked into the lair's main room. 

Toothiana looks around corners, top to bottom of the cavern. "Fairies? Where are you?" She says, figuring they were there.

Toothiana see's Pitch's shadow on the wall and yelled. "JACK! BUNNY! Sandy!" 

She looked around and then dark figure went charging after her, she quickly dodged it and flew away in fear.

"JACK!" Toothiana screamed as she flew away.

Jack heard distant screaming, but then, the Nightmare lair echoed with thousands of screams. 

 

Bunnymund's ears twitched, but he kept on, holding his arms close in twitchy fear. 

 

Sandy jumped, but kept on, the sounds of past fear echoing in his ears, an uneasy mouse running around above him. 

Sandy hears a distant chuckle from Pitch echoing from his left, he quickly get's whips ready and darts towards that area.

Sandy watches everywhere, he doesn't want Pitch to sneak up on him. (again)

 

Toothiana looked over her shoulder for a second and heard screams everywhere as she entered a room, she accidentally bumps into Jack.

"Ow... sorry Jack." Toothiana quickly says as the both were lying on the ground

" Tooth... ugh.... get off." 

She flitted upright, a distinct red tinge to her cheeks. 

" Find anything? " 

He asked, idly leaning on his staff. 

"Sorry Jack..." Toothiana repeated as she brushed a feather out of her face.

"I saw Pitch and something dark came after me, I got away from that place as fast as I could... Sorry..." Toothiana added at the end.

"Why is there yells in here?" Toothiana asked getting curious.

 

Sandy heard taps around him, he got ready for attack. He saw a quick shadow go left and he quickly darted at it.

He almost hit it with his whip but quickly stopped as he saw Bunny.

" Mate, what the Hecks..." Bunnymund began, as a Night Mare burst from the wall, running him over with its coal black hooves. 

 

" What was..." Began Jack, as a loud banging made him and Toothiana look over: twenty or more Night Mares burst through the wall, foaming at the mouth....

headed straight for them. 

Sandy flinched as the Night Mare came out of nowhere and hit Bunny.

Sandy helped Bunny up and hit the Night Mare with his whip, it made a loud neigh sound and then it disappeared.

 

Toothiana started breathing really fast. "What do we do?" She asked quickly.

Jack looked at Toothiana with an "I don't know" Kind of look.

The Night Mare's were getting closer and Toothiana grabbed Jack's arm and pulled him up.

Jack let Toothiana pull him away, then leapt into the air, staff at the ready. 

Always one to think on his feet, he thrust his staff forward, the tip pulsing a deep blue. 

" Tooth: circle back! " He cried. leading the Night Mares away by hovering before them like a carrot in front of a stubborn mule.

" when I say now, rush them!" Jack cried, as the Night Mares neighed, hooves clawing at the air. 

" NOW!" Jack cried.

Toothiana rushes at the Night Mare's, all of them neigh and kick their hooves.

Toothiana kicks and punches the Night Mare's when they get to close.

Jack hits one of the Night Mare's with his staff, Toothiana heard one of her fairies,

she paused for a moment and looked. As this happened a NIght Mare hit her arm with it's hoove.

She yelled in pain and grabbed her arm. "Jack! We need to find a way out of here!" She shouted at Jack.

Jack dodged a Night Mare, his sweater tearing across the chest, a thin trail of blood running free.

" Tooth... get out, now!" He yelled, bashing several of the creature with his staff, making them break apart into black sand. 

Tooth's eyes flicked worriedly between the bleeding Jack and the Night Mares, but she left, leaving Jack to face the creatures. 

 

Bunnybund rolled over, watching Sandy fight, dazed from the hit. 

" Crickey, mate... " He groaned. 

He jumped to his feet at once, hands grabbing dual boomerangs. 

" Hey mate... catch. " 

The boomerangs tore through the Night Mares, destroying them as Toothiana came rushing in. 

Toothiana caught the boomerang and flew towards Bunny.

"Are you okay?" She asked helping him up, all Bunny did was nod.

"Sandy?" Sandy nodded with his thumbs up.

"Okay, guy's it's Jack, he's in trouble. We need to help him!" She quickly said.

Sandy looked at Toothiana's arm with a worried look in his eye, then put an outline of an arm above his head.

 

"I'm fine Sandy, but Jack... he needs help, more then I do. If we don't help him he will die."

Bunny and Sandy both nodded and followed Toothiana to Jack.
