Chapter 2
"He's Back!?" The sound punctured the stunned silence that hung in the air. "Pitch Black? Are you sure?!"
"Yes Tooth" North said heavily. "Manny vas quite sure. He would not tell us unless it vas serious."
"Wait wait, can we back up a little?" Jack said "Who's Pitch Black?"
Sanderson ManSnoozy, or Sandy as everyone called him, began to make rapid signs above his head as way of explanation. Jack had never fully understood why he could talk. Something about not waking the children.
"Yeah-Sandy, I not really getting what you're trying to say, but uhh.. thanks anyway."
"Jack, Pitch Black is the Guardians worst enemy" Tooth said "He has powers like us"
"Well, not exactly like us" Bunny said " He controls Fear and Darkness, and has an army of black DreamSand Horses he calls NightMares"
"He wants nothing more than to destroy us and plunge Fantasy into a Dark age." North said "This is why Manny chose you, Jack, to help us fight Pitch"
"What exactly is he going to do?"
"Ve don't know" North said solemnly "Ve will all take shifts watching each part on the city. Sandy, you will alert the Berk Neighborhood. Tooth..."
North continued to give out instructions as Bunny took Jack aside.
"Listen Mate" he said "North's given us a shift tomorrow night near the Arendelle Mansion where the ball's being held. You'll be able to sneak in through the window on the second floor. I can get in with my tunnels, but you'll have it help Hiccup.
"Right" Jack said grinning "Those idiots will never know what hit em. This is gonna feel Awesome!"

"This is not happening" Jack said horrified. "You can't make me"
Hiccup rolled his eyes. "Jack it's just a suit. It isn't going to kill you.
"So says you" Jack muttered. Bunny chuckled. Jack glared at him. "I still don't see why you don't have to wear a suit" he said grumpily
"Jack, I'm a 6 foot tall Poka. No suit is going to make me blend in. That's why I get the undercover job and you and Hiccup will be at the party."
"Besides Jack" Tooth added "I think you'd look really nice in a suit" With that Tooth flew off toward her shift.
Jack stared after her, mouth slightly agape. He then, without any further complaints, put on the suit, shoes and all.
They made their way across the city, avoiding everyone, Dreamworks and Disney alike. Jack hesitated as they were about to cross over into the Disney's part of Fantasy. Technically there was no separation on territory, but the Disney and Dreamworks had an unspoken separation of the city.
Jack broke his hesitation and stepped into enemy territory. When they came to the mansion they said goodbye to Bunny and he disappeared into his tunnels.
"Alright Hic" Jack whispered "Lets go" He reached out to grab Hiccup's hand but stopped. "Hic, is that... is that a burn? That looks terrible. What happened?"
"Uhh, What..oh that. Uhh yeah I got that..." He trailed off, looking nervous. "Working in the forge!!" He exclaimed suddenly "Yes that where I got it" Jack stared at him.
"What'd you do stick your hand in the fire." Jack said "Hic are you sure"
"Yep absolutely positively sure" Hiccup babbled "Nothing strange here" Jack frowned and opened his mouth to speak but Hiccup cut him off. "We'd better get going Jack"
Making a note to interrogate Hiccup about this later, Jack grabbed his other hand and willed the wind to lift them into the Arendelle Mansion.
