"Woah", Elsa looked at the globe with amazement.
"I told you she's going to love it", Bunny crossed his arms over his chest with a smirk.
"You mean all this small lights are the children who believe in the guardians? I mean, to all of you?", Elsa is excited as she points to the lights.
"To us, soon you'll be one who a child believes. Once we see what you're center is, I'm sure you'll completely fit in to the role of being a guardian", Tooth said.
"What is that?", Elsa saw black sands starting to erupt from a part of the globe.
"Oh no....North!", Jack alerted.
"To the sleigh!", North shouted. All of a sudden, Elsa is being dragged by Jack, running to the basement.
"Wait where are we going?", Elsa asked as she runs with the fastest pace she can muster.
"Pitch is attacking the portion you just saw. He's attacking Jack's hometown, Burgess", Tooth explained.
"Burgess? That's almost half a world far from here, how are we....", Elsa stopped when she saw North's sleigh and can't helped but be surprised. "Wow", was the only word she can say.
"I'll hand it down to you, North, everybody loves the sleigh", Bunny sighed and grunted at the same time.
"Get to your places everyone", North ordered. Everybody sat together. Sandy however, is explaining Elsa something using his sand.
"Jack, what does Sandy mean by hold on to my dear life?", Elsa asked.
"Grab on to the nearest thing you can find!", Jack said so fast that Elsa didn't fully understood. After that, the sleigh moved in a very fast pace. Out of instinct, since Jack is the only one closest to her, she grabbed on to his hand and hugged it tightly. "WOOOOHOOOO!", Jack shouted with excitement. He's clearly enjoying the speed.
Elsa tried closing her eyes but she can't because a part of her is somehow enjoying this too. She saw Bunny hugging the edge as hard as he could, making a very disgusted and frightened face. Tooth is at the edge as well but she's comfortable without that much effort in staying intact with the sleigh and Sandy? It's like he's riding the wind and didn't let it bother him much.
"Do you do this every time?", Elsa shouted out.
"Don't worry, you'll get used to this", Jack held her shivering hand. That answered her question without a doubt.
"We're almost there. Hold on!", North suddenly descended.
"I hate this descending stuff. It makes me want to...", Bunny tried to hold in what he was about to give out.
"Aahhhh!!", Elsa shouted with the others. They're near the ground but the sleigh steadied itself before it made impact.
"North, don't you think we're quite out of range? At this rate we can't stop the sleigh", Jack noticed something is wrong.
"My friends don't look like they can stop as well. We're too fast as I expected to", North looked back to Jack. The reindeers just continued to gallop.
"If I covered the ground with ice, they will only slip and it might speed us more", Jack said.
"Sandy?", North asked. Sandy tried hindering the road with sand but it's not working.
"We have to land on a snow field", Bunny said. "That way we'll slow down"
"Problem is, Burgess is experiencing Fall right now, there are no snow here!", North pointed out, avoiding anything that they'll crash.
"Why don't you try making ice block us Jack? Or if you can, make it snow", Tooth asked.
"If I do that, I will either break the sleigh or we'll all suffer severe damages. I can make ice but not snow", Jack said. Right now they're out of options. Suddenly, Sandy stood up and held to Elsa.
"What is it friend?", North looked at him. Elsa is confused but focused to whatever Sandy is telling her.
"What? Are you serious?", Elsa asked.
"Why didn't I thought of that?!", North happily said. "Can you do it, lass? Really?"
"Do what?", Tooth asked.
"Snow", Jack gasped. "That's right! Elsa, you can do it!", Jack looked at her seriously.
"But...", Elsa was hesitant. Jack nodded at her.
"Do it, Elsa. We're going to crash!", Bunny pointed to the nearby mountain and they're going straight at it.
"Move it, North!", Tooth is panicking a little.
"I can't turn!", North tried but they end up swinging side to side. "Elsa, if you can do it, it's best to do it now!", he shouted with desperation.
"North, turn left once I give the signal", Elsa seriously said.
"Are you sure?", North asked.
"Now!", she ordered. North did as he was told. The sleigh flipped with the speed but Elsa made them gain balance with snow and froze some parts to flip the sleigh back again. She made snow cushion the whole sleigh and focused her powers in doing it as it landed. As soon as the sleigh slowed down a little, Jack froze the dusty ground and made a rail to keep the sleigh going.
"Is everyone alright?", North asked when they stopped and reached their destination.
"I'm never riding this thing back", Bunny crawled out of the sleigh.
"That was fun. Did you see what we just did?", Jack was very happy. Sandy is clapping with joy as well.
"You did it, Elsa!", North congratulated her. Elsa looked at her hands and smiled at the achievement she just made.
"See? You didn't lose control of your powers", she saw what Sandy tried telling her. She hugged Sandy and uttered a thank you for believing in her.
"I knew you could do it", Jack shoved her shoulders with his a little. She smiled and then she remembered something. She remembered how she made a huge snowflake in the sky.
"I knew you could do it", a woman's voice echoed in her head.
"There it is again, that voice", Elsa mumbled softly. Jack saw her sudden change in expression.
"Elsa?", Jack asked. "What happened?"
"I'm fine. This is happening for a while now. I can deal with it", Elsa dropped to her knees gently due to Jack's support.
"Seems like you're not fine to me", Jack was worried now.
"It's just...I keep hearing voices....in my head...AHHH!!", Elsa groaned while holding her aching head.
"What is it, is she sick?", Bunny asked, still holding his own stomach.
"No, she seems to be suffering from something", Jack is holding her by her shoulders.
"Do you think she remembered something?", Tooth was the one who realized it first.
"What is it that you remembered, lass?", North crouched down to her.
"I can just hear voices in my head that's all but it's hurting!", Elsa tried her best to muffle her screams.
Suddenly, something black is falling from the sky.
"What in the world?", Bunny took a piece of something falling. "It....it melted", Bunny looked at them in horror.
North stood and waited for the same thing to fall to his hands and was shocked with what he felt.
"It's cold", North told them.
"Ummm, guys", Tooth pointed to a farther part of Burgess. The town is beginning to be covered by something dark and voices of the people can be heard.
"What is that?", Elsa tried to stand and look over to what's happening.
"Are you okay?", Jack asked. Elsa nodded.
"The pain has stopped for a while", Elsa said.
"Welcome, Guardians", Pitch has showed himself surrounded by his Nightmares as usual.
"What did you do here?", Jack demanded.
"Just made a little experiment", Pitch showed them a ball, well, a dark ball to be exact.
"No, that can't be", North was surprised.
"Took me a while before I am able to perfect this", Pitch grinned and shoved them the ball. They managed to dodge it in time before it melted into dark water.
"Its snow", Elsa gasped.
"First, Sandy's sand and now snow?", Jack was angry.
"Burgess is supposed to be having Fall right now!", Tooth angrily said.
"Change of climate happens often. This is the perfect place to test my new army", Pitch smiled wider.
"Army?", Bunny readied his boomerang.
They heard screaming which sounds like the people in the village are being attacked.
"No...", Jack mumbled with worry.
