*POV Robin*

Wow. I never thought juggling balls would come in that handy! I was presumably the worst juggler in the world, but throwing, that was something I was good at. Sort of. Britt was even better with her bow. Nightlion after nightlion dissolved into a cloud of back dust, and turned back into gold. We found time to give each other a high five, before both choosing a different victim. I grabbed my juggling balls again, two in my right hand, one in my left hand. Then I noticed how Anna came out of her hiding spot, and… My mouth fell open and I almost dropped the juggling balls. She changed! Her body literally shifted into something different. Pitch saw how I stopped fighting and prepared to strike at me, an evil smirk on his face.
        But before it got so far, something charged at him. Or actually, someone. It was Anna, changed into a lion. Ironically, it was a white lion. I didn’t even know those existed.

*POV Jack*

‘Go, Anna!’ I yelled, a broad grin forming on my face. She had found out what her center was, and she also started to get to know her powers. And come on, changing into a lion, that’s pretty cool. That would be kind of tricky, though, if I challenged her for a snowball fight. She would be invisible against the snow. I didn’t think of the fact that she wouldn’t be able to throw snowballs then, either.
        An idea struck me, and my grin transformed into a smirk. Pitch, get ready to get defeated, I thought, before flying up into the sky.

*POV Bunnymund*

I caught my boomerang, rolled over the ground and threw it away again. I waited a few seconds, till the nightlions came closer again. Where’s the fun in a fight when your opponents all disappear? Of course, they were meant to disappear, but… Ah, never mind. I caught my boomerang for maybe the millionth time and prepared to knock one of the black creatures out, when something cold stuck on my paw. It was a small, melting flake of snow. I smiled at the nightlions.
‘Frost is up to something. You won’t stand a chance, mates,’ I let them know. Then I concentrated on fighting again.

*POV North*

 Jack didn’t come down from the clouds till a thick curtain of snow was coming down. Within minutes, the entire area was covered in a blanket of the purest kind of snow. At first I wondered why he did it, but then I realized the white lion, or Anna, became practically invisible against the snow covered surroundings. Pitch and his nightlions, though, were easily visible. Fighting on the slippery ground was hard, but I was used to it. And we had Jack, keeping the snow under our feet fresh.
        I had no clue on how much time passed, but I could make out perfectly fine that we were slowly defeating Pitch. With Anna flashing through the nightlions at the speed of sound, Pitch’s army shrank more and more. We were going to win.
