Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh, trust me - it's awesome," Jack declared with a childlike grin as they followed Walker, Gal, and North to the sleigh... the very cool-looking, looks-like-it-would-be-amazing-to-ride sleigh.
Bunny, on the other hand, gave North a wary look. "You sure I can't take the tunnels, mate?" His answer was to be hauled into the sleigh next to Jack, who pulled Crystal into his lap since the sleigh seemed to be out of room otherwise, grinning in excitement.
With that, the sleigh shot off through the ice tunnels, twisting and turning like an icy roller-coaster.

(Sleigh ride! WOOT! mrgreen My favorite part is Sandy's reaction. xd )

"Could we maybe go slower instead?" Bunny managed to get out before he put a paw over his mouth, looking a little green; (un?)fortunately, the ever-adventurous North went with Iris's request, the sleigh going faster and faster.
Jack looked down at the girl clinging to his currently-frozen arms. "Not your kind of ride then?" he joked weakly, obviously feeling a little bad about pressuring her into this.
Sandy, on the other hand, was having the time of his life and everything, hands in the air as they went through a loop-de-loop.

(Meh, it's a toss-up between him and Bunny. You have to admit, Sandy's awesome, and a lot of his antics in the movie are pretty hilarious. Bunny's "that's adorable" line during the Easter fiasco comes as a close second in terms of humor, though. xd )

"Well, you trust me, don't you? And I've ridden this before and come out without a scratch, so it's definitely safe," Jack pointed out, trying to help her calm down.
Sandy made a so-so motion, indicating "sometimes" with a silly grin on his face as he enjoyed the sleigh ride immensely.
Bunny, on the other hand, looked like he was about to puke any second now, and seemed rather relieved once they were out in the open air.

(Well, again, for me it's a tie between him and Sandy. Normally it'd be the bunny, no contest, but Sandy's hilarious. xd )

Jack gave his friend a reassuring smile before laughing as Bunny gave Crystal a dirty look for making fun of his dislike of the sleigh ride.
North, meanwhile, got out a snowglobe, murmured "Pitch's Lair," and tossed it in front of the sleigh, the sleigh going through the resulting portal into Pitch's hideout... and once the portal closed behind them, the Guardians immediately got the definite impression that they were being watched.

The other Guardians were similarly on edge, each with one hand on their weapons. "PITCH! GET OUT HERE, RATBAG, WE NEED TO TALK!"
However, the only answer Bunny got was an arrow made of black light, shooting past him with impressive speed and missing his head by mere centimeters, instead going straight through a nearby rock and startling all of them. "That was a warning shot," a voice echoed from all around them, soft and silky, yet with a definite dark quality. Add in the slight British accent, and the Guardians were immediately reminded of Pitch. However, this voice lacked Pitch's arrogance, and had a strange quality to it that made their hair stand on end. "If you don't want the next shot to be fatal, I suggest you either behave yourselves or leave."
Everyone tensed, but it was Jack who spoke up. "We don't mean any harm... we're just - "
"Seeking information on the Dark Side of the Moon? I know," the voice said simply, much the the Guardians' surprise. "Off White and I are good friends, even if we have our disagreements; he keeps me informed."
"And who're you supposed to be?" Bunny grunted, glancing around.
The voice chuckled before a figure appeared right behind the group in a flash of black light, wearing an outfit made of dark colors. "Me? I'm Pitch's son. The name's Light Black."
Needless to say, the Big Five nearly dropped their weapons out of shock at THAT little introduction, only one thought on their minds: 'PITCH REPRODUCED?!?'

As one, the Guardians gave each other a baffled look before turning back to Crystal and promptly doing the universal shrug and arm-spread for "How the hell should I know?", Sandy gently calming Iris down and telling her via sand-symbols that while he appreciated the thought, he wasn't looking for a significant other at the moment.
Walker shrugged. "Not a clue," he muttered back.
Light just watched their reactions in amusement before deciding to help the poor spirits out, pulling his bow made of glowing black sand off his back and tapping it lightly against the floor to get their attention. "Yes, spirits can reproduce; however, unlike mortals, they can do so one of two ways: the traditional method of reproduction, or a powerful spirit mixing their magic with something else with intent to create a new spirit," he drawled. "I was born the second way. However, I do believe we're getting off-topic."

Jack and Walker immediately eyed Iris warily (though Jack couldn't help but sneak a glance at Crystal and blush a little himself).
"It appears I'll have to; if the Dark Side of the Moon is mobilizing, we're all in danger." He calmly walked over to the sleigh, getting in. "Father has already armed me with the information you seek - he won't be joining us himself, since he's still recovering from his latest bout of stupidity, so I'll brief you on the way back to the Pole."
"Now hold up a moment, who on Earth said we needed your help?" Bunny snapped, obviously still distrustful of Pitch's spawn.
"Because if we're going to stand even a sliver of a chance against Darkside's attempt to consume the world, we're going to need both light and darkness to work together for once," was the blunt answer. "Now shut up, Kangaroo, or I will not hesitate to shoot you and feed you to my Shades."
