Jack felt powerful. And maybe that was just because he went from being a mortal to being Winter again, but he felt like he could take on the world, or in this case, an army of giants. First thing was first.

As the Seasons distracted the giants, Jack created a thick ice wall that stretched from one side of Ledas to the other. It took so much effort, but with Elsa helping, they managed the feat together. The giants would have to burn their way through the wall, but the longer they spent in Ledas, the more heat they would lose. The Seasons would have them groveling back to their home in Vatra in no time.

Theo, Alyssa, Mara, Jack thought to them and he knew they could hear him. We'll end this once and for all. Join me, and we'll drive them back together.

The others met him at the top of the ice wall, standing side by side by side by side. It felt as if they were all synced as if they all knew exactly what was going to happen without the need to speak to one another.

Alyssa made the first move, creating a dense fog that drifted down from the clouds and covered the giants so they didn't know which way was which. Mara came next, her strength of power engulfing her as she absorbed the heat from the giants into herself, making them shiver and quake, and even from this distance, Jack could see the fear in their eyes. They didn't like being cold. Not one bit.

The unfortunate thing about Mara absorbing their heat was that it suddenly got really hot around her. So much, in fact, that Jack had to take several good sized steps away from her, but even then he could still feel it.

Enormous winds swept through the land, created by Theo, hammering against the giants so they had to brace themselves. But the harsh winds pushed them backward toward Vatra, toward the place that Jack would make sure they stayed this time.

Many of the giants fled back toward their home, some had to be persuaded even further by Theo's power, but finally, every last one of them had been herded back behind the broken seal, back into Vatras.

"Come on!" Theo shouted as they all stared up at the broken barrier. "We have to fix the seal!"

"No," Jack grumbled, his eyebrows furrowing together. "We don't need to live like this because of fear. The giants will stay where they are with or without the seal. I'll make sure of that."

Jack stepped into the incredibly hot realm of Vatra, but it didn't affect him this time as it did other times. This time his rage fueled him. This time nothing could stop his power, not even the fire.

As Jack walked into Vatra, past hundreds of giants licking their wounds, and toward the black spires of the palace, he froze everything in his wake. He froze the giants. He froze the natural lava hot springs. He froze the very air itself. The sizzling hot realm suddenly became a snowy tundra, and he felt half tempted to leave it that way. He wanted to wipe the giants off the planet completely, but even he knew that would greatly upset the balance.

No one stopped him as he walked straight into the palace with the other three Seasons and even Elsa hot at his heels. His ice crept up the walls of the palace, dousing every flame, freezing every hot breath from the giants. And finally, they made it into the throne room where King Matei waited with a disapproving scowl on his face.

"You again," Matei snarled, sitting up to his full height. "I thought we got rid of you when we broke your staff."

"You almost did," Jack replied, a long, frosty breath escaping from his mouth and engulfing the king, making him visibly shiver. "But I decided that I didn't feel like dying today. But that's not why I came here today. I didn't come for me, I came for Queen Elsa and all the other realms. Every inch of Vatra is frozen over with ice right now. I'll take everything touching that ice, even your entire realm full of giants, and I will squash them. Everything in this realm will die unless you agree to never attack the realms again. You and your people will stay in Vatra and never leave. That's the deal."

"You would kill all my giants in the entire realm? Go ahead and do it," Matei laughed evilly, his expression alone challenging him. "I'd like to see you try."

Jack smirked as he pointed his staff at Matei. "That's all the answer I needed."

An icy blast shot right out of Jack's staff and shot straight through King Matei's chest. Matei's body convulsed before every fiber of his being iced over starting from his heart and spreading through the rest of his body. Little by little, he froze over, slumping forward lifeless with his evil grin still on his face even long after his death.

"Jack!" Mara gasped, her eyes wide. "You just killed a king!"

"I did," he said quietly, looking away from Matei's black, lifeless eyes. "But he is an evil king and I will not have him on Vatra's throne. Mara, you know the giants in Vatra better than any of us do. Find a good king, and if there isn't one, then we'll wait until there is. The wicked reign of Matei is at an end."

The five of them started walking back to the broken seal and Mara unfroze everything that Jack had previously frozen. But Jack didn't stop there. There was still so much to do. So much to fix.

Theo, Alyssa, and Mara placed their hands on the seal as well, and little by little, the seal began to dissolve. No longer would the seven realms be bound by the seal. It would be just like it used to be back before Queen Delani had been killed.

When the seal dropped, the atmosphere felt so much lighter, so much freer. He only hoped that the other realms would accept the sudden change, but he felt confident that the giants wouldn't try attacking again. However, they did leave the seal around the human realm. Even the humans would never be able to accept the existence of people like him or the giants or the fae. They would still be allowed to live in their gigantic, ignorant bubble.

"Let's head out and tell the realms the news," Theo said before he disappeared and Alyssa and Mara followed after, leaving Jack and Elsa by themselves.

Jack reached out and took Elsa's hand, a smile forming on his face. "Looks like we have a kingdom to rebuild. Are you up to the challenge?"

She returned his smile and nodded. "As long as you promise to not almost die on me again, then most definitely yes."
