Jack Frost x Guardian!Reader

Chapter Ten

Two nightmares zigzag along the rooftops, searching for victims. Jack, loving the chase, is in hot pursuit with Sandy and (Y/n), who's riding along on a streak of Dreamsand.

"Wahooo! Haha! Yes!" One of the Nightmares splits off, angling for a bedroom window. Sandy calmly follows the Nightmare and flies right through the window and Sandy does the same, the other angles up over the house's roof to evade Jack and (Y/n), who parkour over the roof after it. "Waaahahoooo!" Through the windows below, flashes of golden and sickly green light race through the house as Sandy battles the Nightmare.

The Nightmares and Jack zoom away from the house just as Sandy and the first nightmare blast out of the window, Sandy wrestling it until POOF! It explodes into golden dreamsand which he quickly transforms into a Sting Ray for him to ride.

-------------------

Jack flies through town on the heels of the Nightmare. It makes a sharp turn down an alleyway and Jack is quick to follow. The Nightmare then veers up the wall of the alley and onto a rooftop. Jack whips a blast from his staff and hits the Nightmare before it disappears from view. "HAAAH! I got it!"

Jack jumps up onto the roof and prods the frozen Nightmare with his staff.

"Sandy! Sandy, did you see that?!? Look at this thing!" Jack can barely contain his excitement as he calls out to Sandy, with (Y/n) next to him, but suddenly Pitch lurches out from behind an air conditioning unit on the rooftop.

"Frost's?"

Jack and (Y/n) blasts a wave of across the rooftop, but Pitch easily dodges it, reappearing behind the two winter spirits on the adjoining rooftop.

"You know, for a "neutral party" you two spend an awful lot of time with those weirdos." Pitch started then paused. "This isn't your fight, Jack (Y/n)." Pitch continued.

Jack's and (Y/n)'s eyes narrow. They hold out their staff, ready to strike.

"You made it our fight when you stole those teeth."

Pitch regards them curiously. "Teeth? Why do you care about the teeth?" Pitch asks when he notices something and turns to find Sandy calmly standing on the rooftop next to him. Pitch quickly sidesteps, moving away from Sandy. Pitch chuckles. "Now this is who I'm looking for. Before Pitch can finish dreamsand stream whips around him, forcing him to duck and dodge Sandy's sudden attack.

"Whoa--??" Pitch disperses a stream of nightmare sand, turning it into a gigantic sickle, and swinging it back at Sandy.

Jack and (Y/n) duck, avoiding injury as Sandy's pushed back against a ledge. Sandy quickly grabs Pitch with another dreamsand stream and yanks him off his feet, slamming him repeatedly against the tops of the buildings until finally throwing him off the rooftop. Pitch bounces off the ground as he crashes into an empty street, as Sandy dusts his hands and calmly steps off the rooftop to follow, The two winter spirits look on, astonished.

"Remind us not to get on your bad side." Jack stated, (Y/n) nodding in agreement.

Pitch shakes off the crash, trying to back up as Sandy touches down and moves toward him, Jack following. Pitch cowers on the ground in fear as they approach. Pitch looks up, pleading to the three "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-" Pich started as Sandy continued forward, grim-faced...but suddenly Pitch stopped cowering and stood up. His tone changes. "You can have 'em back!"

Before Jack (Y/n) and Sandy can react, a Nightmare shoots up through a storm drain as several other Nightmares gather in the alley behind him. Jack (Y/n) and Sandy look around as hundreds of Nightmares descend from the surrounding rooftops to encircle them. This doesn't look good. Jack, worried, looks at Sandy and (Y/n).
