The Light In The Shadows (Book 2!)

The Adventure Continues

Elsa woke up with delight, it was almost Christmas and she was beyond excited.  True, she has many Christmases before, but this one was different, it was her first Christmas with the guardians, and Jack.  Blueish-white winter energy moved from her hands to the floor North's workshop, a large shard formed.  Elsa looked at her reflection, she thought she could use a different change, her white dress became overwhelmed with blue ice particles, her outfit was now a white off-the-shoulder dress and a light blue jacket with long sleeves are showing her shoulders, light grayish-blue leggings and white open toe ballet flats.  Along her chest down to her waist are diamond-shaped ice crystals resembling the elements of fire, water, wind, and earth.  She smiled at her reflection, she always had the perfect life, she had her sister by her side, new friends, was chosen to keep the children safe, and most of all...she had her boyfriend. 

"This week is gonna be perfect."

Merida, Eugene, Cassandra, Moana, Maui, Hiccup, and Toothless sat in the center of the workshop, talking about who would take the next shift tonight.  It had been 2 months since they last heard from Pitch, and as Cassandra said, he had a mysterious partner at his side, which makes him more dangerous, especially since they don't know who it is.  "What going on here, mates?" Bunnymund, North, Toothiana, and Sandman walked in.  "We're waiting for Anna and Rapunzel to get back from Arendelle,"  Moana said.  "Where's Jack?" Toothiana flew around, but there was no white haired winter spirit anywhere.  Merida pointed at the window where Jack soared.

Jack flew though the sky, as long as Pitch was out, nobody could ever really be safe.  He scanned the horizon for signs of Pitch, but all he could see was snow for miles.  Jack never showed it, but he began to get more worried, they might not have heard from him, but they always get his "gifts."  Every once in a while, Pitch would send a terrifying monster to attack, there were getting tired of it, and just wanted to find him, and his associate, and just end both of them, but until then, he remained restless.

As he landed on the ground, he found Elsa waiting for him, looking beautiful than she usually did.  "Hey, Snowflake" Jack hugged his girlfriend tightly.  "Are you sure you don't wanna wear your sweater?" Elsa asked, she had got him a white jacket with a silver collar, frost collecting the entire jacket, showing off his white v-neck undershirt.  "Oh, come, I love it" Jack chuckled, he placed his hand over his racing heart, it couldn't control itself when it was around Elsa.  "Well, not as much as I love you" Elsa gently presses her lips on Jack's and wrapped her arms around his neck, as Jack did around her waist.  "Come on, Anna and Raps should be back by now," Jack said as they went back into the Workshop.

Anna and Rapunzel returned from Arendelle with open hugs.  "Why'd you go to Arendelle, lasses?" Merida asked.  Anna looked around to see if her older sister was anywhere around.  "Okay, I got Elsa the best Christmas present" Anna brought out half of her present for her big sister.  "I can't believe this will be our first Christmas together," Cassandra said,  "Yeah, with no interruptions" Hiccup pointed out.  "I can't wait" Rapunzel squealed.

"Anna!"

Anna stashed the gift in her bag the second she heard her sisters voice.  "Welcome back" Elsa hugged her sister and friend.  "You guys wanna go for a fly?" Hiccup asked as Toothless jumped around, as the rest started to agree, the floor below their feet began to rumble

A ginormous monster rose from the ground.  A shape of a  large monster, completely black with yellow piercing eyes, like the other monsters they've faced in the past.  "Your kidding" Cassandra groaned.  "Just get rid of it" Eugene urged.  Jacked soared into the air with his staff, striking blue energy formed around him as he fired a blast of lightning ice that froze the monster's arm, but it used its other hand to grab Jack and throw him into the wall, cracking it.

"Hey, that's my boyfriend!" Elsa's eyes flashed blue, she struck the ground with an icy blast, that knocks her opponent backwards.  "My turn" Anna smirked.  She dashed by the monster who tried to shove her away and fired threw 2 purple fireballs at them, and then, she created an outward blast of flame, knocking it back. 

As the monster hand found its way to Rapunzel, her eyes and hair glow bright yellow, and she levitated in the air. Empowered by hope, she generated and manipulated waves of pure solar energy, which she fired at the monster, mashed with how Cassandra triggered massive shock waves when in physical contact with the Black Rocks.  Together, they both knocked it back, but it still got back up. "Awesome" Rapunzel and Cassandra shared a high five.

Maui's Fishhook began to glow, and with a bright blue flash, he turned into a giant Hawk and charged towards the monster. After getting close, he turned back into his human form and struck it down as Moana used her new powers to summon a powerful wave of water that knocked it back.

Merida and Hiccup climbed on Toothless, who soared into the roof. As the monster eyed him, the dragon dived down at great speed and then fires a precise and extremely explosive blast that not only destroyed the monster, but left marks on the floor. "Hey, hey careful" North groaned. "Look!" Elsa pointed at the big pile of black sand that was flying out. As most of it left, Jack lunged himself forward and was able to grab some before it was all gone. "Nice job, mate," Bunnymund said as North took the sand and placed it in a jar.

"Well, that was interesting" Hiccup groaned as Toothless nudged him. "Well, at least we have this" North held up the jar of black sand. "When will we find him?" Eugene's hand ran through his dark brown hair. "Soon, very soon" Rapunzel hoped, with Christmas just around the corner, now seemed like the perfect time to strike, but soon, only one question was on everyone's minds.

Who is Pitch working with?
