The Serene Butterfly 🦋 Jack Frost

ೃ⁀➷ 5 ༊*·˚ Facing Fears

Jack, Althea and Sandman was flying after the Nightmare as Jack shouts excitedly, "Yes! Whoo-hoo-hoo! Whoo!".

Sandman mounts one of the nightmares and transforms it back into his own Dream-sand, as a Manta-ray. Jack bounds after one, then freezes it to a rooftop from the alley below. "I got it!", he then jumps onto the roof. "Sandy! Sandy, did you see that? Hehehe! Look at this thing!".

"Frost?", he darts out of the way of Jack shoot him with ice. "You know, for a neutral party, you spend an awful lot of time with those weirdos. This isn't your fight, Jack".

"You made it my fight when you stole those teeth!", he yelled at the Man in Black.

"Teeth? Why do you care about the teeth?", he then was blasted back a couple of steps, looking up the two saw Althea, grasping her bow in her hand, she was aggravated.

"You! You took everything for me! Everything", she screamed.

"Ahh, here's the warrior", he cackled, unbothered.

"Why did you kill them? Why?!", her voice cracked as tears ran down her face, Jack was stunned, he hadn't seen her cry, no one had. She never cries. "What did they ever do to you? You were so close to them..", she gulped.

"Why?", he mocked. "Because i hate you, especially you!", his voice boomed and everything was silence. "Well, you in the future anyways. You are always the angel, lighting up a room with a conversation, your parents betrayed me!", he shouted but she didn't flinch, she kept her bow aimed at him.

"They chose light over dark, good over evil. We took an ought!", he paused, then began pacing around. "I knew the only way i can avenge them is by killing you, but it back fired. I ended up killing them instead", he whispered, sending shivers down her spine.

She had, had enough. releasing the arrow but he disappear seconds before it hit. She looked around, "They don't deserve this!", she broke, more tears streamed down her face.

He then popped out a few feet away from her, and notices Sandman standing near him, looking cross, and jumps away with a start, then a nervous laugh. "Oh, another contestant!".

Sandman breaks out his weapon - whips made of his sand. Pitch dodges the whips and brings out his giant scythe too. Sandman catches Pitch's handle and jerks him into the air, then down into the street below. Pitch bounces off a car roof and was shoot a couple a feet away by her Energy Bolts Arrows.

"Remind me not to get on your bad side", Jack said and the three of them descend through the air to street level.

"Okay, easy! You can't blame me for trying, Sandy! You don't know what it's like to be weak, and hated! It was stupid of me, to mess with your dreams. So, I'll tell you what. You can have 'em back", he growled as Nightmares surrounds Jack and Sandman.

"You... take the ones on the left, I'll take the ones on the right.. Althea-"

The Nightmares bray angrily, before beginning to attack. Althea didn't hold back and pulled out her sword, swinging it around and destroying the Nightmares. Jack and Sandy exchange concerned glances but helped her out.

North's sleigh passes overhead, crashing into things. Apparently, North, Tooth, and Bunny keep dozing off due to the Dream-sand. After another scrape on the top of a building, they all startle awake again.

Sandy uses his sand to burst into the air like a water-spout, dragging Jack and Althea with him, then tosses Jack away - ostensibly to protect him while Althea remains in the air using her Energy Beams and bolts projected in her hands to blast the Nightmares away.

Jack knocks a few Nightmares away, but falls a little before Althea notices and created a glowing jade lasso that picks him back up and goes spiraling through some Nightmares.
