Chapter 54
Third Person POV
As Pitch fought on, he knew that Aidan was right, his power was draining, but he wasn't about to show it. He tried to harness every little bit of fear he could find, but with the people of Burgess overcoming their fears, Pitch's closest stash of fear was gone. In a distance, streaks of gold sand, dreams, were puffing up to the sky. Pitch's nightmares were turning into dreams, thanks to the people who weren't afraid anymore.
"Look!" Jamie pointed to the sky excitedly. More and more dreams were formed, they were fighting the darkness in the sky. Slowly but surely, light was being restored.
Pitch knew he had to do something soon before he was overpowered by everyone. He had to draw their attention away from him, or at least lure only a few of them. Run? Pitch wondered. Nonsense, you're not a coward.
"Feels good doesn't it?" Pitch taunted, looking at Aidan, Cleo, Darrel, Ethan and Isabelle. "Finally getting revenge on me for killing your friends? Oh, you should have seen the blood flowing out of them, the sound of their bones cracking, and the screams of those that were tossed into the unknown."
"Shut up!" Darrel yelled.
"You've seen some of it, haven't you? You heard, you watched, and you couldn't do anything." Pitch continued.
"SHUT UP!" Darrel yelled again.
"It wasn't just your friends that were involved in the crossfire at some point now then was it?" Pitch laughed. "Oh yes, and once you give into your power, you're no different than a monster! You don't control your power, your power controls you. Plus, the five of you are just armatures, you don't know how to control it, you can easily be overwhelmed by your power, and once that happens, you'll change."
Isabelle bit her lip, wondering whether it was true. Could Pitch be right? What if I do go dark side or something? What if, these powers, aren't a gift, but a curse? I really need to learn how to control it...
Due to her not paying attention, she nearly let a lightning bolt strike Elinor and North. "Easy on the aiming, kid!" North exclaimed.
"I will, I will!" Isabelle replied, panicked.
Pitch smiled, he had managed to gather more fear, thanks to Isabelle. What will be next to provoke them? What will make them fear? Pitch wondered.
"Isabelle, you gotta snap out of it!" Jack nudged, glancing at Pitch.
"Snap out of what?" Isabelle asked.
"Your fear!" Elsa said. "Look, don't worry, you won't end up in whatever you're thinking!"
Grand Pabbie quickly calmed Isabelle down. "Don't let fear be your enemy..."
Pitch suddenly shot up into the air like a rocket. "Oh no you ain't going anywhere!" Jack yelled and shot up as well. "What's the matter? Coward? Running away?"
"Oh Jack, you don't even know half of me." Pitch said.
"Well I certainly know enough!" Jack attacked him with ice.
Pitch deflected it easily. Pitch then said a very quick ritual, which caused large waves of nightmare sand to emerge. It was all the fear of the world. Instantly, it rained down on Jack.
Jack was overwhelmed and he quickly flew away, but the sand kept chasing him.
"Who's running now?" Pitch taunted. "Run, run, as fast as you can, I will catch you, I'm Pitch Black!"
True enough, the sand managed to catch up to Jack, and once it did, it held Jack by the neck. Pitch immediately created a barrier around Jack and him, preventing anyone else from interfering.
"Damn it!" Hiccup, who was on Toothless yelled.
"Give it your all!" Ethan commanded. He had successfully managed to lift everyone up into the sky again, with some help from Sandy, but they were just a little too late to stop Pitch. Ethan was praying he wouldn't mess up and drop everyone to their deaths.
Elsa started off with pressing her hands on the barrier, the ice quickly spread around it.
"You'll just reinforce the barrier!" Pitch laughed. "Sorry, but this time, you can't do anything."
"Just you wait!" Elsa shouted.
"Let me go!" Jack struggled.
"Sure, after you're dead." Pitch looked at him in the eye.
Pitch's nightmare sand swarmed Jack, Jack instantly faced a living nightmare. With all of his worst fears tormenting him at once, Pitch knew it would only take a short time before Jack couldn't handle it anymore.
"This was custom made for you, Jack!" Pitch laughed. Because he had separated himself and Jack from the rest, their fear was increasing, since they couldn't break down the barrier and watched Jack screaming and kicking in horror, fearing Pitch might really kill Jack this time.
Jack, in his subconscious, was completely terrified. It started off with his loved ones dying, he saw that he didn't save his sister from drowning 300 years ago. All of Jack's happiest memories became nightmares. It's not real, it's not real Jack! He kept telling himself. Pitch was in his subconscious too, a memory when Pitch tried to convince Jack to join him, only much darker.
"No, no, no!" Jack kept screaming.
Pitch smiled in satisfaction.
"NOOOOO!" Jack yelled, and that's when something happened. A blue light shone from him, Jack shut his eyes and concentrated all his power, he felt himself exploding of ice. The nightmare sand swarming him instantly became ice, then shattered into pieces. (like the movie scene)
Jack looked at Pitch, panting and in disbelief. Even Pitch looked shocked as well. Jack then noticed a blue aura had surrounded him. Is this what Manny meant by convergence? Each person to unleash the most powerful thing of them? Jack wondered.
Just a simple touch on the barrier from Jack, it instantly froze and broke. Jack felt himself more powerful and more confident.
"He did it... Jack did it!" Isabelle said in excitement.
"So... How do we do it? Actually, answer this first, what on earth makes you converge?!" Merida asked in confusion.
"Basically it's like what makes you feel powerful, and you show it at the highest level." Kristoff explained.
Elsa shut her eyes and concentrated, she could have sworn her hands were gonna freeze solid, even her hair turned blue for a split second, she then blasted her most powerful spell at Pitch. And that's when she's shown her true self, her true power. Instantly, she had an aura of blue around her.
Pitch, now weakened, didn't handle the blast very well. Everyone realised it was gonna be much easier to handle Pitch now. It was Pitch's turn to be afraid.
For those with powers, it was easier for them to converge and have their own coloured auras. The others struggled and some had no idea what to do. Grand Pabbie convinced them that they must be in harmony with themselves and others, and connect on a spiritual level.
It took a while, so the rest bought time. Pitch refused to give up, he would fight till the end. Unfortunately for him, his enemies were now more powerful after learning to converge. And once they converged all together, Pitch knew it was going to be impossible to stop them, he desperately tried to think of a plan B.
"So, Pitch, how you doing?" Jack laughed.
"You seriously need to learn to shut up, Jack." Pitch snapped.
Suddenly streaks of colours shot up to the sky. Everyone looked back, Grand Pabbie had a wide smile on his face, he was successful in helping the rest. He realised that not all of them had to converge, like himself, Elinor, Astrid, Valka, Jamie, Cupcake, Caleb, Monty, Claude, Pippa, Sven, Maximus and Pascal. Technically, they were brought here by The Nightmares, this wasn't their fight, it's still counts on the rest to take them down. Toothless delightfully chased after his own aura.
For those that learned how to converge, their colours surrounded the group and shot up to the sky.
Anna was so happy that she had cried happy tears. "It's beautiful... It's like a rainbow but with more than seven colours!"
Pitch gulped. This time, he was really out of options, he quickly bolted but suddenly his arm had a lasso of dream sand.
"Where do you think you're going?" North asked.
"I'm going to grab a burger." Pitch said sarcastically.
"Grab one for me too." Jack chuckled.
"Oh you ain't going nowhere mate." Bunny said. Sandy then created a cage of dream sand, tossing Pitch into it. Just Pitch touching the bars were enough to burn him.
"Now, quick." Grand Pabbie instructed. "The lot of you must be in harmony with each other, concentrating your full energy, giving it your all."
"Mind if I ask what's gonna happen?" Rapunzel asked.
"It'll be like nothing I've ever seen before." Grand Pabbie simply replied. "I've seen some convergence once or twice before, but this? What you're about to do is converge the power of the century, with this many people..."
"Let me guess, there's gonna be an explosion?" Tooth asked.
"Not if all of you work together. I don't mean to scare you, but convergence can be deadly with this many of you. The more of you, the more powerful it gets, but also the more dangerous it gets. It can easily backfire." Grand Pabbie explained. "I'd say don't worry, cause your friend, Manny, has your back, that's why he told you to converge in the first place, cause he can't do it alone. Also, you're destined for this, to defeat The Nightmares, and end this all." He said.
