My first RotBTD story! I've been on rage for a while now, so I thought I'd make a fanfic!

This first chapter here is more a recap for readers who might have forgotten or have not kept in touch with the four franchises involved.

Prologue

Most people in the town of Burgess was unaware that anything had happened. But for a few children, that night changed their lives forever. Most notably, the life of young Jamie Bennett. In front of him stood his childhood heroes. The tall and proud man with a russian accent, Santa Claus. An elegant winged lady known as the Tooth Fairy. A large muscular rabbit with an Australian accent was the Easter Bunny. A small, mute yellow man known as the Sandman.

And most recently, a teenager with snow white hair, a blue jacket and a wooden staff. A forgotten winter spirit known as Jack Frost. Jamie had never believed in Jack Frost until now, and he definitely wasn't disappointed that he had put his faith in this mystical being.

The night was coming to an end as the soft rays of the sun began to emerge. The darkness was being chased away by the light. Just like how Jack and his friends had driven a force of darkness-Pitch Black-away.

In front of Jamie, Santa called Jack forward. One of his furry yetis brought out a large book. Jamie and his friends slowly walked forward to listen what Santa was about to say to Jack as the large book was opened.

"Do you, Jack Frost," Santa begin in a clear and concise voice. His russian accent perfectly clear, "vow to watch over the children for they are all we have, all we are and all that we will ever be?"

For a moment, Jack didn't respond. He turned to Jamie and the young boy gave him an encouraging nodded. A smile formed on Jack's lips. "I will."

Santa closed the book. "Congratulations, Jack Frost. You are now, and forever more, a Guardian!" The old man's voice boomed loud across the surface of the frozen lake. Cheering erupted from the children and the other Guardians.

From the sky, a group of reindeers landed, bringing with them a large wooden sleigh that immediately stole the attention of the kids. Bunny leaned in towards Santa. "Everyone loves the sleigh."

Sandy and Tooth got into the sleigh first, followed by Bunny. Santa was about to get on when he turned. "Jack!" he called, earning the attention of the winter spirit and Jamie. "Time to go."

Grinning, Jack made his way towards the sleigh. "You're leaving?"

Jamie's voice made him stop. Jack turned around to face the small boy. "What if Pitch comes back?" Jamie asked, his voice scared. "What if we stop believing again? If I can't see you then-"

"Whoa, slow down," Jack interjected playfully, kneeling down to look at Jamie. "Are you telling me you stop believing in the moon when the sun comes up?"

"No."

"Okay. Do you stop believing believing in the sun when clouds block it out?"

Jamie chuckled slightly. "No."

"We'll always be there, Jamie," said Jack reassuringly. "And now, we'll always be here." The winter spirit touched Jamie's chest gently before giving the boy a warm smile. "Which kind of makes you a Guardian too." Standing up, Jack got ready to leave once again.

"Jack!" Quickly, Jamie ran forward and flung his arms around Jack. The fourteen year old winter spirit was caught by surprise, but slowly returned the hug. When Jamie let go, Jack grabbed his staff and hopped onto the sleigh. Bunny, Sandy and Toothless congratulated him as Santa snapped the reins, taking off into the morning sky.

Sighing, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third brought a roughly drawn map down. He had drawn the map two days ago in great hopes of finding the legendary lost island of the Night Furies. His dragon, Toothless, the only known Night Fury nudged his arm.

"I'm sorry this map wasn't the real thing, bud," Hiccup said softly, letting the piece of paper fall into the fire. He had followed forged notes to an uncharted island, got himself and Toothless captured and they barely escaped with their lives.

It's only been a couple of months since the dreaded war between humans and dragons ended on their island. Even though it was because of his friendship with Toothless and their defeat of the dragon queen now dubbed the Red Death, Hiccup still wasn't able to rest easy. New problems regarding the dragons have been occurring all over the place. Hiccup himself is now a target of Alvin the Treacherous, the chief of a rival Outcast Tribe. Whether is it for his dragon training abilities or to kill him, Hiccup would never know.

As the map caught on fire, Hiccup refused to watch anymore and walked over to a table, his metal prosthetic left foot squeaking slightly as he did. On the desk was an old book with his island's crest on it. Hiccup opened the Book of Dragons and turned over to the Night Fury page.

"But hey," he suddenly said, trying to cheer himself and Toothless up. "There's nothing wrong with being one of a kind, right?"

Their silence and peacefulness was suddenly ruined when the door to his house was abruptly opened. Standing at the entrance was Astrid, her bangs messy as usual. "Would you come on?" she groaned, frustratedly. Hiccup gave the second in command of his Dragon Training Academy a confused look.

"Bork week?" Astrid reminded him like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "The parade?" Grinning, Hiccup placed the book back down on the table before walking towards Astrid. Outside, the plaza was decorated with signs and dragon related items to celebrate Bork Week.

Bork the Bold was known as the man who created the first copy of the Book of Dragons and Hiccup and his friends have been adding their new discoveries to it on a daily basis. His father, Stoick the Vast, had requested that Hiccup and his friends put on a dragon air show for the occasion.

Climbing onto Toothless' saddle, Hiccup looked his metal foot on the stirrup and quickly checked to see if Toothless' prosthetic tail was working properly. As he took off into the sky, his friends followed. Toothless let out a bellow as the crowd cheered from the plaza below.

Looking down, Hiccup could see his father smiling proudly up at him. It was then that Hiccup realized that a family isn't just something you're born into. He led his friends on their dragons upwards, towards the sky.

Astrid was behind him on her Deadly Nadder, Stormfly. Followed by Fishlegs on his Gronckle, Meatlug. Then the twins, Ruffnut and Tuffnut on their two headed Hideous Zippleback. Snotlout on his Monstrous Nightmare, Hookfang, trailed just a little behind the rest of the gang.

Hiccup continued his train of thoughts. A family includes all the friends who stood beside you. Looking to his right, he saw Astrid smiling at him. To his left, Fishlegs pulled Meatlug up beside him, throwing her rocks to eat during flight.

Inside, Hiccup continued, thinking that a family included the ones that fought by his side. Just as he thought about this, he looked up at Snotlout. Who, despite arguing with Hiccup himself a lot, was an important member of the team and pulled through when it was truly needed. Snotlout smugly grinned back at Hiccup in reply as Hookfang set his horns on fire, prompting for Snotlout to exclaim in surprise.

Finally, Hiccup concluded that a family will be there for you, and you'll be there for them. Beside Snotlout, Hiccup could see the twins knocking their helmets together in their usual fashion. Smiling, Hiccup rubbed Toothless' head affectionately before the dragon suddenly gained an intense burst of speed.

As he sped through the air, Hiccup prepared himself mentally. Knowing that there will be difficult battles that are yet to come.

Earlier that day, Princess Merida, Queen Elinor and King Fergus bid farewell to their welcomed guests from the other kingdoms. Young McGuffin spent some time kissing Merida's hand, probably because he thought he had the right to marry her. Fortunately, that offer was changed.

However, as the ships sailed off, King Fergus noticed that his troublesome three sons, Hamish, Hubert and Harris had stowed away on one of the ships and was waving happily from the mast. Groaning, the King gathered his dogs before setting out on a rowboat to catch up to the departing ships.

Now, Merida tugged on the reins of her horse, Angus. She pulled him up onto a cliff over looking the beautiful lake. A makeshift bow and arrow was over her back, a quiver sitting in her belt. Her favorite bow was currently being repaired. Her ruffled, messy red hair blew in the wind. Beside Merida, her mother appeared in a slightly elegant long flowing blue dress.

Previously, the young princess had thought that fate was something beyond her command. And that destiny is not one's own. But now, she knows better.

Pulling Angus backwards, the horse snorted. She rode into the forest, Queen Elinor following her daughter close behind as Merida continued her train of thoughts. She realized that fate lives within everyone.

Just a few days ago, she learned that her parents had arranged a marriage for her. Merida had already had a strained relationship with her mother because she was so controlling, having Merida study more princess-like duties rather than allowing her to go out and practice her archery.

During the competition for her hand, Merida herself interfered and that was the last draw with her mother. They got into a fierce argument before Merida obtained a magic cupcake, turning her mother into a bear. In the following two days, she sought to reverse the spell and was eventually successful, and the demon bear, Mor'du was killed in the process.

Now riding along the lake with her mother, Merida was certain that she changed her own fate. That she changed her life for the better. And she was unaware of the small will-o'-the-wisp that was congratulating her behind a rock. And that little wisp knows that it will guide Merida towards a much greater destiny.

When people are happy, they celebrate. And within the Kingdom of Corona, the people have been celebrating for an entire week. Their lost princess, Rapunzel, had finally been discovered and returned to her loving parents. The said princess was out in the plaza, enjoying the freedom and atmosphere of the open world. She looked around for a dashing man in a dark blue vest. But seeing that he was nowhere to be seen, Rapunzel resumed to walking about the kingdom.

Only a week earlier, a day before her eighteenth birthday, she was still locked in a tower. A hidden tower deep within the forest. She had never left that tower because she was afraid she would be hunted for the magic healing properties of her hair. So when Flynn Rider, whom she found out later is named Eugene Fitzherbert shows up in her tower, Rapunzel had asked him to guide her to the kingdom in order to see the floating lanterns.

Throughout their adventure, Rapunzel eventually grew to love Eugene. And upon realizing she was the lost princess, Rapunzel attempted to escape her "mother", Gothel, who had hoarded her for her abilities. In the process of defeating Gothel, Rapunzel's hair lost it's magical properties due to it being cut and Eugene's life was saved. In the aftermath, she was reunited with her true parents and the celebration of that reunion is still going.

Inside, Rapunzel knew that she couldn't he happier. All around her, dreams came true for the thugs she met on her journey. One became a pianist, one found true love and one is seemingly enjoying his career as a mime. Maximus, a horse that helped her out on her journey, became the leader of the royal army. Their signature weapon became frying pans, which Rapunzel had to admit she was proud of since she was the one who first used it as a weapon.

And she was truly happy because she and Eugene would be getting married soon. Their marriage would be a few days or a week or so and the whole kingdom was getting excited about that as well.

Some of the girls beside Rapunzel were playing around with her pet, a small green chameleon she dubbed Pascal, who was changing the color of his skin according to the fruits the girls had him eat. The girls handed Pascal back to Rapunzel, who crawled up her hand and nudged her neck.

The young princess hugged her approaching parents for a moment before stepping back into the crowd, greeting a mother and daughter. As they left, Rapunzel peered upwards and noticed that her tiara was missing from her neck. An annoyed yet playful expression adorned her face when she turned around to see Eugene behind her, gesturing for the former thief to give her back her tiara.

When Eugene refused to do so, she pulled Eugene in for a kiss. In the midst of it, she could feel her tiara being returned to her head. Not that she would care at the moment of course. And while she had already found true love and will soon be married, Rapunzel's true adventure had yet to begin.
