Kristoff walked up to the deck where Jack and Maria were. Jack and Maria were sitting on stools while in the middle was a small table. They both were playing Chess. Jack smirked and moved the white horse to the side while removing the black one. He smirked at Maria. Maria smirked back while moving her black horse forward, removing the white one. Jack frowned when he saw that he was blocked.

"Beat that, brother," said Maria, smirking at Jack.

Jack folded his arms while looking down at the chess in concentration. Maria moved her head to the side with a bored look. "I'm so bored."

"Then you shouldn't have come," muttered Jack.

He moved his hand forward but then stopped. Maria looked at him. "Stop taking so long!"

Jack furrowed his eyebrows. "Did you guys feel that?"

Kristoff furrowed his eyebrows while Maria scoffed. "Very funny, you're not fooling anyone," she said.

"No I'm serious," said Jack.

"We did not feel-"Maria was interrupted when the ship moved rapidly. Jack stood up along with Maria. The waves were hitting the ship hard at the side making it move from side to side. "What's happening?"

"I don't know I think something's-"Jack stopped when he saw black dust in the sky. ''What's that?"

Down came black horses; there were many of them. All the guards came and stood down at the deck with spears and swords.

"Are they dangerous?" asked Kristoff, pointing at the black horses. The horses came and attack the guards. Five guards flew to the top where Jack and the others were. They all stared down at their dead bodies. "I'll take that as a yes."

Jack took his staff; Kristoff took hold of his axe while Maria removed two of her daggers.

Jack flew up and fought with the black horses, sending blast of crystal ice. Kristoff jumped up and brought his axe down, axing all the horses that were coming to attack him.

Maria shot some daggers to the horses that were coming her way. Some came up from the deck behind her. Maria glanced at them before turning invisible. The horses looked around, trying to spot her. But before they could do anything, daggers were shot straight at them. Maria revealed herself and looked at Kristoff who axed two horses. They both gasped when they saw hundreds of horses coming.

"Where are they coming from?'' asked Maria.

"I don't know," said Kristoff. They both got into a fighting stance and waited for them.

Jack spins his staff creating a blizzard and sending it to the group of black horses. He heard the thunder. He looked up and gasped. There was a huge round of black sand forming in the sky.

"Black sand," whispered Jack. His eyes widen in realization. He flew up to see. When he reached the top, he saw a black figure. The figure sent a blast of black sand but Jack dodged and sent a blast of ice to the black figure. "You're the one who killed my father!"

He heard the figure laughed and soon it revealed himself. Jack gasped with wide eyes. "Pitch?!" he exclaimed with utter shock.

"Hello Jack," Pitch said as he smirked. "Surprised?"
