North shoves open a set of double doors, followed closely by Cadmus, Morpheus and Weiss. Several Yeti's rush by as they prepare the hangar for launch.
North then turned to the Yetis.
North:" Boys, ship shape. As soon as impossible." he ordered them.
Suddenly the sound of pounding hooves and beastly snorting was heard. Santa's incredible sleigh comes into view. It's a huge, shiny, tricked out, jaw-dropping hot-rod of a sled.
Weiss then noticed that among the reindeer there was Alexis.
Weiss:" Today is gonna be a hard day, Alexis." she said to the red nosed reindeer.
Alexis:" When is it not?" she asked with sarcasm.
North:" Hey, both of quiet! Quiet!!!!" he yelled.
The sleigh comes to a standstill as the Guardians prepare to climb inside. Several Yetis are still running around making last minute preparations.
Ostara made her way past the Yetis and raised an eyebrow.
Weiss jumps aboard. North smiles knowingly, and climbs inside. Morpheus hops up into the back seat.
North:" Everyone loves the sleigh." he said with a bright smile.
North grabs the reigns, wrapping them around his arms. He turns to see Ostara standing there, with her arms crossed.
North:" Bunny, what are you waiting for?" he asked to Ostara.
Ostara:" I'm sitting next to Miss. Oppressor over there. I think my tunnels might be faster, mate and safer." she said with a look of disdain and hatred towards Weiss.
Morpheus however used his spell to create a golden rope and pulled Ostara in the sleigh by force.
Ostara scoffed as she was now tied up and sitting next to Weiss, who was checking up her sunglasses not even paying attention to the Easter Bunny.
North turns to one of the Yetis .
North:" Are we ready?" he asked to one of the Yetis.
The Yeti throws his hands up in a fit shaking his head no.
North:" Good! Let's go! Clear!" he yelled.
The sleigh is off. Elves and yetis scatter out of its path. Cadmus, Morpheus, Weiss and Ostara fly back into their seats. Ostara clutches the edge of her terrified. North can't help but laugh.
North:" Out of the way!" he yelled with a smile on his face.
The sleigh heads down a luge-like track. North is enjoying the ride.
Ostara:" Ohhhhhh no! Slow down, slow down!" she yelled in fear as her face was turning blue out of fear.
North cracks the reigns, the sleigh plummets, an almost vertical drop. Weiss smirked secretely at the sufferring that Ostara was feeling right now. Ostara not so much.
North pulls a lever, kicking the sleigh into overdrive. He looks back as the sleigh enters a corkscrew.
Weiss:" I hope you like the loopty loops." she with a bright smile on her face towards OstRA.
Ostara glared at her.
Ostara:" I hope you like the guillotine, snowflake." she said with a glare.
Weiss:" Huh, always the sharp tounge let me freeze it for you" she said as she was going to use her ice magic to shut Ostara's mouth.
North:" Here we go!" he yelled with an happy smile across his face.
Wide shot as the sleigh reaches the bottom of the ramp, and shoots upwards, launching them into bright blue sky.
North, reins in hand, leans into the wind as the reindeer climb higher.
North:" Hold on everyone, I know a shortcut." he told the Guardians.
Ostara:" Oh strewth, I knew we should have taken the tunnels." she said in despair.
North holds a snow globe up to his face.
North:" I say, Tooth Palace." he said as an image of the Tooth Palace appears inside the snowglobe. North throws the globe into the air and a giant vortex opens.
A surreal light surrounds the sleigh as it hits hyperdrive and gets sucked through the snow-globe portal with a whoosh.

The sleigh suddenly comes out of hyperdrive at the outskirts of the Tooth Palace. Streaks of black rapidly approaching.
Everyone was in shock at what they were witnessing.
North:" What!?" he asked in shock.
Suddenly our heroes find themselves in the midst of mayhem, as hundreds of Nightmares and terrified Tooth Fairies jet past. It's like a meteor storm. North yanks the reins, and the sleigh veers sharply, dodging the oncoming Nightmares.
North:" What are they!?" he asked in shock.
Weiss now sees that the Nightmares are actually gulping down the fleeing fairies and flying off with them. It's chaos.
Weiss:" They're taking the tooth fairies!" she yelled as she jumped off the Santa sleigh.
Weiss started flying towards a lonely fairy, who was about to get attacked by a Nightmare.
Weiss then started spinning on herself and turned into an Ice Phoenix.
Weiss in her Ice Phoenix form sent her ice feathers towards most of the Nightmares and pierced through them.
The Nightmares screamed in pain as they froze in the spot and shattered into milion of pieces.
Weiss deactivated her Ice Phoenix form and then grabbed the Baby Tooth Fairy, who was shaking in fear.
Weiss:" Hey little Baby Tooth, you okay?" she asked gently as she was using her magic to calm down the Baby Tooth Fairy.
As Baby Tooth nods, North steers the sleigh forward through the storm toward the entrance of Cadmus's Palace.

A vast chamber supported by pillars containing millions of tiny wooden deposit boxes from floor to ceiling. North spots a Nightmare up ahead as he glare it causing it to explode into a bunch of tooth boxes and rain down into the sleigh at the Guardians' feet. The Nightmare disintegrates into black sand.
Cadmus:" They're stealing the teeth!" she yelled ina worried tone.
Morpheus looked in the sky to see Nightmare sand take shape and drift away.
Morpheus glared at it before poking Ostara on the cheek and pointing at her what was going on.
Ostara:" North!!!" she yelled as North turned to see what was happening.
The Guardians turn they're headed straight for a pillar.
Cadmus flew off the sleigh and flying above with a look of frustration and sadness.
Weiss flew towards her.
Weiss:" Cadmus, are you alright?" she asked to Cadmus.
Cadmus:" They, they took my fairies! And the teeth! All of them! Everything is gone! Everything." she said in despair as Weiss tapped her shoulder and pulled her in a hug.
The Baby Tooth then came out Weiss's hat as Cadmus noticed it.
Weiss took off her hat as the Baby tooth flew towards Cadmus hands as Cadmus smiled with tears still coming out.
Cadmus:" Apollonia!! Oh thank goodness! You're alright!" she said with tears of joy knowing hat Apollonia was safe.
???:"I have to say, this is very, very exciting." a voice was echoing through the Tooth Palace.
Then black sand started taking an humanoid shape revealing to be no other than Hypnos floating in the sky with a sadistic smile on his face.
Hypnos:" The Big Four, all in one place. I'm a little star-struck. Did you like my show on the globe, North? Got you all together, didn't I?" he asked with a sadistic smile on his face.
Cadmus summoned a Magic spear and trew it at Hypnos who simply stood there as it went through his face, proving his intangibility.
Cadmus:" Return me my fairies!!!!" she yelled in anger as Hypnos just laughed.
Hypnos:" Or what, child? You'll stick a quarter under my pillow?" he asked with a smirk as he teleported himself behind Cadmus, stop time and slammed his elbow on her left shoulder.
Hypnos then restarted time as Cadmus body crashed straight on the ground.
Cadmus yelled in pain as her left shoulder was shattered, Apollonia was worried as she hugged onto Weiss's coat.
Weiss eyes widen in shock as Hypnos started grinning evilly before turning his sight on North.
North:" Why are doing this?" he asked in anger at Hypnos
Hypnos:" Maybe I want what you have. To be believed in. Maybe I'm tired of hiding under beds." he said as he turned into black sand as Ostara trew her Easter Eggs bombs at Hypnos
Ostara:" Maybe that's where you belong." she said before getting blown away out of the Santa sleigh by a wind magic attack.
Hypnos:"Ah, go suck an egg, rabbit!" he said.
Morpheus eyes widen as he used his telekenisis to rescue Ostara from falling.
Hypnos then appeared behind Weiss all of the sudden and wrapped his hands around her waist.
Hypnos:" Hang on, is this the 'Winter', herself? Didn't know she came back after decades." he asked in amusement.
Hypnos then turned himself into a black python and wrap himself around Weiss's body.
Weiss:" L-Let go!!" she said as Hypnos started grinning.
Hypnos:" They didn't tell you enough Winter Maiden. But, you must be used to that by now." he said before Weiss unleash her white flames from her body causing Hypnos to let go off her.
Weiss:" Hypnos!! You shadow sneaking bastar-" she was then interrupted by her body getting pulled towards Hypnos as he summoned a black blade, however North shot a magic blast from his index finger which struck Hypnos as Weiss regained control over her body.
Hypnos smirked as his body reformed i an instant with a sadistic grin across his face.
Hypnos then licked his fangs bfore his appearence turned more feral as he turned into a shadow beast for a split second just to scare North.
Hypnos then bursted out of laughing.
Apollonia who was hiding inside of Weiss's coat was terrified.
Hypnos then turned towards Morpheus and smirked.
Hypnos:" Look familiar, Morpheus? Took me a while to perfect this little trick. Turning dreams into Nightmares." he said as he turned the golden sand into black sand making Morpheus shocked.
Hypnos notices the shocked Guardians as this made the situation even more amusing.
Hypnos:" Don't be nervous, it only riles them up more. They smell fear you now." he said with a smirk on his face.
Ostara was now being held by Morpheus as she glared at Hypnos.
Ostara:" What fear? Of you!? No one's been afraid of you since the Dark Ages!" she yelled with a smile of confidence as fury flared into Hypnos eyes for a second before it turned into a smile.
Hypnos:" Oh, the Dark Ages. Everyone frightened. Miserable. Such happy times for me. Oh, the power I wielded! But then the Great Goddess of the Moon chose you to replace my fear with your wonder and light! Lifting their hearts! And giving them hope! Meanwhile, everyone wrote me off as just a bad dream! ' Oh, there's nothing to be afraid of! There's no such thing as the Boogeyman!' Well that's all about to change." he said with a serious expression on his face.
A sound behind Hypnos was heard as one of the pillars of the Palace fell down hard on the ground. Cadmus is stunned...
Hypnos:" Oh look, it's happening already."he said with a sadistic smile as a man wearing a black cloak with a white mask was seen seemingly helping Hypnos in his plans.
Weiss eyes widen as she summoned a magical glyph, pulled her Rapier and went to attack the masked opponent.
Weiss went to struck the opponent, who caught the sword slash easily and absorb the magical white flames.
Weiss eyes widen as she noticed that her opponent eyes were bright blue, then wings appeared out of her opponents back.
North was in shock at what he was witnessing.
???:" Divide." the person said as Weiss eyes widen as she realized that she couldn't use her magic.
Weiss was in shock as she felt powerless.
???:" Ice Wave!!" he yelled as Weiss got struck by an Ice Wave, to the point she got turned into an Ice sculpture.
Hypnos then smirked and let out a soft laughter.
Hypnos:" Children are waking up and realizing the Tooth Fairy never came. I mean such a little thing, but to achild....." he said with a smirk on his face.
Cadmus eyes widen as the palace continues to crumble.
North:" What's going on?!?" he asked to Cadmus.
Cadmus:" They, they don't believe in me anymore." she said in shock.
Hypnos then flew towards Weiss ice sculpture and whispered in her ear.
Hypnos:" Didn't they tell you, Winter Maiden? It's great being a Guardian but there's a catch. If enough kids stop believing, everything your friends protect like wonder, hopes and dreams it all goes away. And little by little, so do they. No Christmas, or Easter, or little fairies that come in the night. There will be nothing. But fear and darkness and me! It's your turn not to be believed in!" he said with a twisted sinister smile, knowing that she could hear him talking.
Ostara trew a barrage of Easter Eggs bombs at Hypnos, who simply stopped time and eliminated the Easter Eggs Bombs by simply snapping his fingers and then turn to face Weiss again.
THe unknown man then flew next to Hypnos and asked him what should they do now.
Hypnos simply said nothing and just starred at Weiss ice sculpture.

Moments later Weiss was now seen free from the ice before realizing the mess in the Tooth's Palace.
Norht just shook his head.
North:" He's gone." he said.
Cadmus, deflated, sits on the ground with an empty tooth box in her hands. Apollonia, resting on a nearby broken tooth box, looks to Cadmus with concern. Weiss walks up and crouches down alongside Cadmus.
Weiss:" I'm sorry, about the fairies." she told to Cadmus.
Cadmus:" You should've seen them. They put up such a fight." she was atleast in relief that her Fairies put a fight against the NightMares.
Ostara:" Okay, alright I admit it, you were right about Hypnos." she said to North.
North:" This is one time I wish I was wrong. But he will pay." he said with a look of determination.
Weiss then went to ask Cadmus a question.
Weiss:" Why would Hypnos take the teeth?" she asked to Cadmus.
Cadmus:" It's not the teeth he wanted. It's the memories inside them." she told to Weiss.
Weiss:" What do you mean?" she asked to Cadmus.
Cadmus leads Weiss across the pond, the water freezing under her feet as she walks meaning that she got her magic back.
Cadmus:" That's why we collect the teeth, Weiss. They hold the most important memories of childhood." she told to Weiss.
Cadmus directs her to a mural, which illustrates this.
Cadmus:" My fairies and I watch over them and when someone needs to remember what's important, we help them."she explained to the Schnee.
Weiss takes a second to admire the immense beauty of the mural before him.
Cadmus:" We had everyone's here. Yours too." she said making Weiss shocked.
Weiss:" My memories?" she asked with shock.
Cadmus:" From when you were young. Before you became the Winter Maiden. We were all someone before we were chosen." she said.
Weiss thought this could've been the key to many questions she had.
Weiss:" We have to get them back, then." she said with a look of determination.
Suddenly, a patch of Cadmus's feathers fall out, and disappears. The Guardians eyes fill with worry.
Weiss is stricken. He looks back the ancient MURAL begins to disintegrate, meaning that the children stop believing in the Fairy Tooth.
North:" No! No! No such thing as too late! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Idea!! HAHH!! We will collect the teeth!" he said with a gleeful expression on his face asMorpheus Cadmus looked at North in confusion.
Cadmus:" What?" she asked to North.
North:" We get teeth! Children keep believing in you!" he said with a joyful tone.
Cadmus:" We're talking about 8 Kingdoms. Many children!!!!" she said.
North:" Give me break! You know how many toys I deliver in one night?" he said with a joyful smile on his face.
Ostara:" And eggs I hide in one day?" she said with a smirk.
North turns to Weiss.
North:" And Weiss, if you help us, we will get you, your memories." he said with a smile across his face.
Weiss looks to Cadmus, who gives her a reassuring smile. Morpheus gives to enthusiastic thumbs up while Ostara groans. Weiss looks back to North with a smile.
Weiss:" I'm in." she said with a confident smile on her face.
