Hey, sup guys? So, here is my first ROTG fic EVAR! *random party ballons come out of nowhere* Dont know where that came from...ANYWAYS, I am just really excited now because this little beauty has been fighting against the walls of laziness and so I decided to send it here!

SUMMARY: What if Pitch didn't decided to try and kill the guardians? What if Jack had lived 301 years instead of 300? What if Jack was the bad guy threatening the world with an ice age and the guardians and Pitch had to stop him? The guardians may think that it's just going to be little pest control, but they soon realize that this wont be an easy job. Will Jack be defeated? and if so, will the guardians spare him? Or will they take his life? This is my take on the story. Some of the scenes are like the movie, but with very noticeable differences. This goes on until about the fourth or fifth chapter? I'm not sure ^.^' (Bad summary is bad, sorry guys!)

EDIT: Because Jack's rant didn't seem like...Jack.

DISCLAIMER:

Me: Jack?

Jack: On it. *turns to reader(s)* Iggy-bunny does not own ROTG because if she did, she would be receiving about a thousand snowballs to the face

Me: -_-

Jack: What? It's true!

Me: *sighs and turns to reader(s)* READ MY LOVELY READERS

Chapter 1: A chill in the air

It was midnight. A chill ran through the air, making people throughout the world shiver. A stout man with a short curl of hair atop his head sat on his glowing throne miles away from the earth. He sighed, drumming his fingers on his throne, as he watched the citizens of the earth shiver and sneeze from the cold. "I never expected this to happen," he murmured. "I didn't actually think…"

"Manny, he was still young. It was obvious from the very beginning," a young woman next to him said. The older man on the other side of him nodded in agreement. Manny sighed. "Yes, I know…but he was…"

"I agree, he was an excellent candidate. However, three hundred years was too much on the boy, and the other spirits weren't exactly friendly around him," the man said. Manny looked at him, a mournful look on his face and looked back towards the earth. "I at least hopped the guardians would have been kinder around him," he murmured.

"Honestly, if I could, I would have slapped those four to the moon and back if I had the chance," the woman said. "But it's too late now. He's gone too far, and we can't exactly reach him now."

"What do you mean?" the man inquired. Many stared at her with equal confusion.

"He's stolen the watch, Ombric," the woman said. The man's eyes widened in horror. "What?! How could he have grabbed the watch without Father Time noticing?!" Manny exclaimed.

"He's stronger than you two think," the woman said. "He froze the entire palace in a surprise attack. It seems that he was planning this for a long time, because he froze Father in the process. What's even more, he took some scrolls and books on how to use the watch. What I assume is he's most likely going to use it against the earth and the other spirits. And if we try to stop him, he'll just freeze us, in more ways than one." The two men looked at her doubtfully. "You actually thing he's going to go through with it, Katherine?" Ombric exclaimed.

"I know he is," Katherine said. She pointed to the earth. "Look, it's already starting." Manny and Ombric looked towards the earth and watched with horror as they noticed that the earth was turning slower than it was before, not slow enough for the earthlings to notice, but fast enough for Manny, Ombric, and Katherine to notice. "He does know how it works," Ombric murmured, his eyes glazed. He looked towards Manny, who was deep in thought. "Manny?" he asked, concerned.

"We need to stop him," Manny murmured. "We can't just let the boy freeze the entire world, but I'm not going to allow them to hurt the boy." He got up from his seat and looked at his companions. "Call the guardians, now," he said. "And…call someone else."

"You don't mean…"

"I do," Manny said. "He's an excellent fighter, if you haven't forgotten, and he knows how to deal with children. Besides, he's been through the same things as Jack has." He looked at his two companions determinedly. "And he has good reason too. If the earth is frozen, then he can't get the fear he needs." He smiled sadly. "Just go and call him. It'll cost us too much magic to teleport us there, with the eclipse coming and all."

"I don't think I have to," Ombric said, as he watched a black shadow move across the earth. "I think he's already been given the message. I'll just prepare some things in case that child actually succeeds." Manny sighed and nodded as he looked desperately back at the earth. "What have I done?" he murmured.

Somewhere on earth was a young teenager, about fourteen or fifteen, who was walking around, leaving trails of frost with every step he took. He had snow white hair and cerulean blue eyes, and he wore a dark blue hoddie with frost on it. In one hand he carried a staff, in the other he carried a silver pocket watch. He held up the watch and observed with glee as he saw the needle slowing down. "Just a few more days, and I'll finally have my revenge," he murmured. He looked up at the moon, his eyes flashing with hatred. "Look at me old man, I'm finally taking things into my own hands."

The world around him dropped about ten degrees, but he didn't seem to care. "Look, I'm going to freeze the world in time and ice. Aren't you happy? Aren't you happy with me now, moon?!" He looked at the world around him. "All these years, I've been alone, hated by all including all of the spirits around me! Not even your stupid guardians tried to help me!" He grinned, showing the moon the watch that he stole. "You didn't even try to help me, you stupid old fool! You of all people, the one who put me here on this worthless earth!"

He looked at the iced city behind him, and then back at the moon. "They don't really deserve this, you know. You can tell me what my purpose is, why I'm here, and I'll let them go. And if not, well then, I'll just cover this world in my ice and snow!" He chuckled. "And once I encase this worthless world in my ice…once I kill your precious guardians and your little spirit friends…once you're as alone as I've always been…I'll come for you next!"

He thrust his staff towards the moon. "Is that what you created me for, old man?! As a means for the end?!" He laughed again, whooping wildly as he headed for Burgess. "I guess you did, since you never answer me at all!" He landed on the lake he came from, clutching the watch tightly. "Guess what happed today old man? I got walked though again! And you know what happened to that kid, huh?! I froze him! I froze that little brat! Heh, bet his family is crying for him now. I bet they're crying and screaming for him to come back to life. And after all I've done for him, saving him from that car." He nearly threw his staff to the ground. "I almost feel sorry for him."

He laughed, his unheard giggles growing louder and louder. The moon only glowed back at him calmly. The teen sighed as his giggles subsided and looked at it with desperate eyes. "Why do you hate me?" he whispered softly. When the moon didn't answer, his hands balled up into fists. "I said, WHY DO YOU HATE ME?!" he screamed. Again, silence ran through the air. The teen rolled his eyes and walked inside a hole in a tree near the lake. "You better warn your precious little guardians about me," he murmured, clutching the watch in his hands.

"Because there's no way in hell anyone's gonna stop me."

So, a little introduction to the setting. Poor Jack, so alone... :(

For those of you who know the Guardians of Childhood books, I have heard about these characters and have read about them in fanfics and wiki, but I have never in my lifetime read the books, no matter how much I want to. So if these random Guardians of Childhood characters suddenly become OOC, then please don't blame me. Please. I really would like to keep my head on my shoulders. ^-^"

You hast read, now pleaseth reviewith!
