Jack looked from Pitch's glare to Baby Tooth to back to Pitch. He sighed. What other choice did he have from here? He handed Pitch his staff.
"Now, let Baby Tooth go" Jack said. Pitch gave a dark chuckle, looking at the mini Tooth Fairy in his hands.
"I don't think so" Pitch said looking back at Jack. "You wanted to be alone then be alone"
Pitch tightened his grip on the bird with a sickening crunch and threw the limp figure. Jack ran to catch Baby Tooth before she fell. While Jack was distracted Pitch broke his staff and kicked him into the raveen below. He landed painfully on his stomach. He was in too much pain too open his eyes. He heard his staff get dropped beside him and a faint squeak in his hood. Baby Tooth was safe. He smiled as he drifted out of consciousness.
Meanwhile the Guardians were all meeting up in North's globe room.
"What are we going to do about Jack?" Tooth asked.
"Nothin' we don't need him" Bunny complained.
"Bunny, if he is sided with Pitch we don't stand a chance. We also didn't give him time to explain himself" North said.
"Sure, and what would he say? That he and Pitch were only having a tea party?" Bunny snapped. Just then the ground rumbled.
"What was that?" Tooth asked. North walked over to the window.
"Oh no! Look, the snow cap. It's melting" North said. The other two rushed over to see what he was talking about.
"How can the snow melt in the north pole?" Bunny asked. North looked at him.
"I don't know. Jack is the one who makes it snow" he said to Bunny.
"He's trying to wash us out now! If the snow melts then the world would flood" Bunny said.
"We have to get him back. We know Jack! The true Jack would never hurt anyone on purpose" Tooth said.
"It might not be because Jack wants revenge" North said.
"What do you mean?" Bunny asked.
"Well, he might not be able to control his powers right now. Maybe he's hurt" North said.
"If he's hurt we have to help him!" Tooth shrieked.
"He's not hurt. He's probably working with Pitch" Bunny said bitterly.
"We still have to find him. Man in Moon said he's to be a Guardian" North said. They geared up and marched out to the sleigh to find Jack. After a few minutes Tooth pointed out i giant black sculpture that stood out against the white snow.
"It looks like its made out of ice and black sand" North said.
"Let's go check it out" Tooth said. North landed the sleigh next to the black sculpture.
"Look at this" Bunny said hopping over to the sculpture. "This is made out of black sand from Pitch and ice from Jack Frost they have to be working together"
"How is this any evidence?" North asked. Tooth heard the light squeaking noise not far off from where they were.
"Guys, stop fighting for a second" Tooth said. The two other Guardians became silent and listened to the squeaking as well. North took a step closer to the trench but stepped back as the melting ice fell out from underneath his foot.
"Is coming from down there" North said.
"Tooth, can you fly down and see what it is? It's too dangerous for us to walk over there" Bunny said. Tooth nodded and flew into the raveen. When she got to the bottom she shrieked in fear. The melting ice vibrated against the high pitch and started to fall.
"Tooth, get out of there!" Bunny yelled down to her. Tooth duck out of the way of the falling ice. She slowly walked over to the fallen bleeding form of Jack. His leg was twisted the wrong way, there was a gash on his head that was bleeding and he was bleeding from the mouth.
"Jack?" Tooth whispered. Jack didn't move when she called his name. She noticed the staff broken in half laying next to him.
"Tooth? Are you alright?" North called down to her.
"Jack" she said a little louder. Jack still didn't move. Tooth walked over and carefully picked up Jack's broken staff. The ice began to shake again.
"You have to get out of there, Toothiana. The ice is melting" North called down.
Tooth carefully, with broken staff in hand, picked up Jack. She flew out of the raveen and to the sleigh.
"Is that... Is he...?" Bunny stuttered to find the words.
"We have to get him back to The Workshop. I have infirmary there" North said climbing into the sleigh. Bunny sat next to Tooth who was holding Jack in her arms. He stared at the limp figure. It was unnatural for him to not to talk.
"I was so quick to blame him" Bunny mumbled.
"It's alright. He have him now. He's safe now. That's all that matters" Tooth said.
"I didn't even trust him and he was always on our side. Why didn't I...Why couldn't I..." Bunny couldn't find the right thing to say. He was so quick to blame Jack for all of their problems and now Jack was fighting for his life.
