POV Narration

Whop. Whop. Whop.

A single helicopter was flying in circles around the city of Sherwood. The night had fallen on the fourth day of the Apocalypse, after the zombies had infested USA. It seemed like it was on a search, it had a beam of light focused on the ground, the light spot moved on the surroundings, lighting roads, rocks and houses.

On the ground a fast figure was moving forward, staying in the shadows and keeping a look out. He listened to every sound of the forest, keeping alert while hiding in a berry bush. His hands were fiddling on the radio transmitter.

Bzzt.. Bzzt…

The radio made electric sounds before muffled voice started to spoke. ”Respond code Easter!” Quickly the man picked up, “Geez you startled me mate! I thought that we agreed to use morse code, aye?” A moment of silence before the voice spoke again. “Yeah I know Bunnymund! So sorry but Sandman is a bit busy shooting some zombie heads,” a girly voice giggled. “Wait Toothiana, I heard something,” Bunnymund turned around and glanced over his shoulder. His hand went to his back slowly and his fingers touched the cool surface of his boomerang.

The steps were heavy sounding and a chubby white bearded man came towards Bunnymund. “Oh, it’s you North,” he sighed and North laughed. ”Sorry to startle you Bunny, I believe that we got contact from above?” Bunny nodded, in fact they just got contact from helicopter. North took the radio speaker to his hand, “So, what is our mission Tooth?” He said with his rough Russian accent.

“We will show you, just focus your eyes on the light beam. Go for it code Man in the Moon,” they heard how Tooth told to their mission leader Manny to show their next mission. Top secret.

Their eyes followed the beam that traveled on river’s shore. It nailed into a man who was limping forward and dragging a stick behind of him. He was one of the turned ones. “Got it! We will take care of him!” Bunny said cheerfully, soon they would get another opportunity to behead some zombies.

Bunny placed the radio away from his hands and glanced towards North who was also preparing his swords like Bunny who was taking his boomerang out.

Bzzt… Bzzzt..

Both Bunny and North stayed still when the radio made a noise. Someone is going to contact them.

“Respond code Christmas,” another voice called. “Yes?” North took the speaker. Bzzzt…Bzzt.. ”Give support to Tooth and Sandy,” the voice said. ”Do not engage towards that boy, I repeat, do not.” Manny ordered them. Bunny and North looked at each other. Suddenly Bunny took the speaker from North, “Oi! Manny! Are you taking another test sample again? Respond!” Bunny yelled in annoyed way. Bzzt.. Bzzzt… The radio went silent.

Whoop. Whoop. Whoop. Bunny and North glance up and see the helicopter near the boy. They shrug their shoulders as they ran towards the place. Tooth is already standing at the helicopter’s doorway, tying a rope around her waist. “Faster!” Bunny yells to North when they jump on river rocks. They see how the boy zombie looks up towards the sound.

Tooth dives down and the gunfire starts. Sandy is using machine gun to shoot the enemies, zombies that are furthest away from the helicopter. Bunny’s and North’s mission is to take care of things at land, kill the closest ones. “Protect code Fairy!” Bunny yells to North who hits two zombies that were limping towards the helicopter place. The heads fell off at the same moment when North smiled and nodded to Bunny.

Tooth dived from the helicopter, head first and directly next to that zombie boy. “Hello gorgeous!” She giggled to that boy, “Oh my! Aren’t you a feisty one!” She avoided easily that zombies tries to bite his teeth to her flesh. Her mouth formed an ‘o’ when she saw the boys teeth. “Oh my, oh my! I will definitely ask to have your teeth to my collection if Jasmine fails in her experiments again!” She crossed her arms.

“What is taking so long?” Bunny yelled while he used his steel edged boomerang to fly in the air and cut off the neck’s of the zombies that were nearing them. “Yea, Yea,” Tooth giggled when she knocked the boy down, tying a rope around him and shutting his mouth with duct tape. “Sorry,” she patted the zombies chest when they were being lifted up. The helicopter rose up to heights.

“Time to go,” Bunny said while he ran to North’s red car. “No crazy driving this time!” Bunny yelled to North who just laughed and drove faster than ever before which made Bunny feel sick to his stomach.

Soon they all reached a secret location at mountains. “Back to Pole, finally!” North exhaled happily when they entered the gates. His workers took care of his car. Bunny ran immediately to helicopter landing spot and bumped into Tooth. “Hey! Where’s Manny?” Bunny asked and Tooth shrugged her shoulders, ”You know him. Man of few words and already left to his own stuff.”

“Where is my test subject number 25?” A tall black haired and dark eyed woman called Jasmine came to them. She was wearing her white scientist coat and seemed excited in Bunny’s mind. “Ask Tooth,” he nodded towards the woman who’s always wearing her purple contact lenses and even had her hair colored purple. However she had an odd habit to color her eyelids and nails to green. Green and purple, her favorite colors.

Tooth was filing her nails, “Sandy took him to your lab already. A nice specimen indeed. Give me his teeth if something goes wrong, pretty please?” Tooth blinked her shimmering eyes and Jasmine agreed to her request. “I need you to keep him steady, I have prepared a new formula.”

The room where Jasmine worked is a sterile one with her surgical instruments and white walls. Every furniture is actual steel and there is the smell of disinfect substance. The zombie has been tied into a table and he is making a muffled sound through the duct tape that is keeping his mouth shut. “Take a hold of his limbs,” Jasmine says while she fills a syringe. “New antidote?” North asks and Jasmine nods. ”I really hope that this time it will work,” Jasmine whispered when she hit the needle on the boys arm and emptied the content to his blood stream.

The muffled sound was now clear groaning and the zombies body started to twitch wildly. His blank eyes rolled inside of his skull, he was whimpering and his hands clenched back and forward. The zombie was panting and waving his head from side to side. The body stiffened and relaxed in series. The zombie closed it’s eyes and beat its head against the steel table. Then the body stopped moving.

“Okay, that was a show,” Bunny said and was now untying the zombie. “Wait,” Jasmine squeezed Bunny’s hand and they stared at the zombie. Something felt different on this time, never before had a test subject started to breathe again after the grand finale of head hitting. Tooth gasped and backed away when they watched the zombie transforming its looks. The hair turned its shade to white and his skin went to pale one. Even strong headed Australian Bunny startled when the zombie moaned. “Where am I?” The zombie opened its eyes that also were different looking from before. “Oh god it worked!” Jasmine exhaled as they all realized that the antidote worked. “Some side effects?” North looked at Jasmine but before she could respond Sandy knocked the boy out with his fist. “Why?” Jasmine exhaled and the mute golden haired little man just shrugged his shoulders as a respond.

The boy felt how his head was aching after the direct hit from a small man’s fist. He rubbed his eyes and felt exhausted. The light hurt his eyes as he glanced around him. He was wearing a white patient suit and his arm had a bracelet with ’25’ written on it. He rubbed his neck when he got up, his feet stepped onto the white marble floor. The cubicle room was bright and white on three walls. The fourth wall was a gigantic mirror. He was alone in there, without any memory of what had happened.

Slowly he stood up from the bed. And walked around the room. He stared at his reflection, seeing his messy overlong white hair sticking to every direction. He touched his cheek that was swollen after being hit. He touched the mirror when he stared into his cyan blue eyes. “What is going on?” He whispered.

A chain reaction happened when the mirror suddenly vanished and he was staring into another room through a window. He fell backwards to his butt and stared at the sight amazed. “W-what?” He gasped. ”Good question!” A purple haired woman giggled.

”You’re test subject 25 and we are examing you,” an exotic looking woman paced around the room and stared right at the poor white haired boy. “Please! Treat him like a human being!” The purple haired woman told her. ”This one here who is mumblimg about tests etc is Jasmine, my name is Tooth. Here are also Bunny, North and Sandy.” They all waved their hands when Tooth introduced them. “Uh, huh,” the boy stared at them.

Tooth slammed something against the window, “Here. Your identity card.” The boy went closer to window and stared at the piece of information that Tooth was holding. “Jack Frost? That’s my name?” He cocked his eyebrow to Tooth. ”Yes, I believe so. Unfortunately this is only some sort of athlete’s pass and not actual identity card,” Tooth sighed. Jack wasn’t listening, he was touching his face that he noticed different compared to the photo in the pass. “I look different?” Jack exhaled.

“Yes you do. It is a new side affect for the antidote, we don’t know if you’re safe still. That is why we locked you up. Sorry for changing your hair and eyes and skin,” Jasmine looked at Jack with compassion. She really was sorry for him since her antidote was still unfinished. “Antidote for what?” Jack smirked. ”You were bitten by a zombie and became one mate, ”Bunny stared at Jack from head to toe and tried to figure out what type of person he really is.

After having the conversation with these people Jack sat down to his bed. That was one of the things that he had in that tiny room among the toilet seat and water tab. He was trapped inside and wanted to get out desperately. Then he heard a door opening, it was a secret door where a small man came inside. He seemed easy to fool in his mind.

“Hey, you!” Jack yelled to that man who walked to him with his hat’s jingle bell making tingling sound. Jack tripped the man over and run outside from the door. Everything seemed so sterile and unfamiliar to him as he ran in the corridors. The worst thing for him was the fact that he couldn’t remember anything.

Suddenly a gigantic man stepped in front of him. “Where are you going?” He glared at him. “Easy now Phil!” A deep russian accent was hearing from that guys behind. Soon Jack saw North standing in front of him. Jack backed up slowly and turned around, quickly he jumped over a table and climbed upstairs. Even he didn’t know how he was doing it.

Hand grabbed Jack’s shoulder and held him still. He felt angry for the guy named Bunny. “Let me go! I have done nothing!” Jack yelled and tried to kick himself free. Soon he however was thrown back to cell. He sat there in a corner, burying his head to his knees.

The door opened once again and all the people who imprisoned him came inside. “We have been thinking,” North started. “We need a new Guardian,” Tooth squealed and Jack glanced at them. He was feeling uncertain about their goals. “Guardians?” Jack asked and Bunny explained him about them being the Guardians, a private military type of group who deal with the hardest situations. They work in the shadows and in top secret missions. Jack sighed and looked at his hands. He knew that it would be the only way to get away from that room, being a test subject 25.

“Alright,” Jack smiled to them without the normal sparkle in his eyes. “We were kind of hoping that,” Tooth said and Sandy threw clothes to Jack. “These were on you when we found you,” Tooth smiled and Jack looked at a blue hoodie and brown short pants. Quickly Jack changed as he felt the other’s stares on his back. He saw a scar on his neck that resembled bite mark. When he turned around he backed up in horror, the largest one and most aggressive looking of the guardians approached him fast. His back went against the wall and the man called North glared at him. Then his glare turned into a smile and laughter, “Here is your weapon. You seemed to like this one since you hold onto it pretty hard!”

Jack took a staff from North. It was long and the other end bended into a ‘G’. It felt good in his hands. “A cutting blade, huh?” Jack chuckled when his fingers ran on the cool metal surface. “We did an adjustment,” North laughed. On the ‘G’ end was now a sharp blade ready to cut, it circled on the inside surface of the ‘G’.

“Cool,” Jack smiled and chuckled. “Time for training!” Bunny yelled and pointed Jack to follow him. “So, you’re a parkourer mate. Use it as your advantage,” Bunny smiled to Jack who stared at the obstacles. “Alright,” Jack said and ran over the fence and landed down in rolling motion. Then he jumped over a stair railing and climbed up on to a box. “Hah, too easy mate!” Bunny laughed and pressed a button.

“Try handle these at the same time!” Bunny grinned when three zombies approached Jack. He had just released them from a secret cage behind of a wall. “Bring it on,” Jack smirked cockily. He spread his legs and lifted the staff in front of him. He pushed two of them further and the third one had its head placed inside of the ‘G’ of the staff. “Light’s out!” Jack laughed when he pulled his staff. The zombies head got sliced off and it fell to ground. Next he swung the staff in air and did the same to another zombie while he kicked the third one away. Soon all three were laying on the floor near his feet.

North came inside clapping his hands wildly and Jack was panting. “Bravo, great job! And you seemed to have some fun while at it!” North chuckled. ”You’re code Fun now Jack, welcome to the group!” He hugged Jack who’s expression was surprised. “Now we will tell you everything,” North said while leading Jack to a command center.

There were every one of the Guardians and Jasmine. A voice spoke on the radio. “Jasmine, tell them about the virus and their number one mission.” The voice went off.

“So my father and I worked in a place called the Palace. It was a military institution that worked on drugs and viruses. We had a fake intelligent called J.A.F.A.R which worked fine until one day-,” Jasmine’s voice was breaking apart and Tooth hugged her. “Then J.A.F.A.R got breached and it went berserk. It killed everyone on research facility, even my father. I wasn’t working that day,” she dried her tears. “So, there we  were testing a new virus that could give soldiers ultimate strength but it also changed everyone to flesh hungry beasts. It got out that day and the consequences can be seen now.”

Jack listened to her words with curiousness. “You’re special Jack, the first one who we have used a working antidote, however the other one who got the same dose died. We don’t know much about you so we need to do some tests to you from time to time. Just make sure to keep physical distance from others or you might infect them.” Jack nodded to Jasmine but he felt a sting in his chest for some reason.

“So I am a freak of nature?” Jack whispered and Tooth came to him. “You could say that but we are glad to have your help instead of locking you up. Jack felt a little weird since the way she said it was odd in his mind. Jack startled and his thoughts moved elsewhere when he saw a guy coming out from shadows.

“Hey there, name is Jim Hawkins,” the boy smiled and rubbed his neck before offering his hand to a handshake to Jack. “Oh, Jack Frost.. Code.. Fun?” Jack laughed nervously and felt the tight grip of the guy named Jim. “Cool! And so is your hand! Hah! Anyway I am the mechanic and I have something sweet for you!” He walked to a tiny door and went inside. Jack followed him and saw mechanical stuff everywhere, he even hurt his bare foot when he stepped into a screw.

Jim laughed, “here it is!” He gave Jack a small round metallic device. “Just tie it around your waist and it works as anti gravitation device!” He smiled widely, “I believe that it will be useful when you use it when you’re taking advantage from your parkour talents!” Jack chuckled, “Sounds like fun to me!”

Jack tied the device on to his waist and turned it on. He was now getting lifted up. “Push yourself some speed with your legs!” Jim instructed and Jack did that, he hit his head against the ceiling and laughed hard. “Whoa! I need to learn to use the right amount or I will be in the moon!” Jim laughed also and nodded to him, “You bet!”

Tomorrow will be their first mission as the group called the Guardians with newest fifth member, Jack. Jack isn’t feeling nervous even though he is looking at the ceiling in his new bedroom at their base. He feels empty inside and he tries to remember what he had forgotten. He only remembers himself waking up inside the spying room, yeah that is what he wanted to call that one since they could stare at him in secret while he was out.

He looks at his pale hands, and touches his cheek. He looked now so much different from the time when he was his usual self that he saw in the picture at the pass. “Should I be looking for someone? Mother? Father? Siblings?” Jack sighs and closes his eyes. He breathes deeply and tries to relax. His attempt fails as he is turning around in his bed, feeling restless.

A nightmare lurks in Jack's mind. He breathes fast when he wakes up feeling cold and sweaty. He now remembers one thing, a thing that he would rather forget. He remembers being drown, how cool dark water filled his lungs when he tried to breath and how his heart at first beated fast and then slowed down. He holds his head and sways himself, "I am alright, there is nothing wrong." He tells to himself even though he feels terrified. What had happened to him is the question that haunts his mind.

A/N:

Jack is back. He changed in his looks when he got the antidote, some side effects.
