Rise Of The Guardians Page #3

---

What fear? Of you?

No one's been afraid of you

since the Dark Ages!

Oh, the Dark Ages.

Everyone frightened. Miserable.

Such happy times for me.

Oh, the power I wielded.

But then the Man in 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.

Oh, look.

It's happening already.

What is?

Children are waking up and realizing

the Tooth Fairy never came.

I mean, such a little thing.

But to a child...

What's going on?

They... They don't

believe in me anymore.

Didn't they tell you, Jack?

It's great being a Guardian.

But there's a catch.

If enough kids stop believing,

everything your friends protect,

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's gone.

Okay, all right, I admit it.

You were right about Pitch.

I'm sorry about the fairies.

You should have seen them.

They put up such a fight.

Why would Pitch take the teeth?

It's not the teeth he wanted.

It's the memories inside them.

What do you mean?

That's why we collect the teeth, Jack.

They hold the most important memories

of childhood.

My fairies and I watch over them.

And when someone needs

to remember what's important,

we help them.

We had everyone's here.

Yours, too.

My memories?

From when you were young.

Before you became Jack Frost.

But I wasn't anyone before

I was Jack Frost.

Of course you were.

We were all someone

before we were chosen.

What?

You should have seen Bunny.

Hey, I told you never to mention that!

The night at the pond, I just...

I assumed...

Are you saying...

Are you saying I had a life before that,

with a home and a family?

You really don't remember?

All these years,

the answers were right here.

If I find my memories,

then I'll know why I'm here.

You have to show me!

I can't, Jack. Pitch has them.

Then we have to get them back!

Oh, no.

The children!

We're too late!

No! No!

No such thing as too late!

Hmm...

Wait, wait, wait, wait!

- Huh?

We will collect the teeth.

What?

We get teeth,

children keep believing in you!

We're talking seven continents

and millions of kids!

Give me break.

You know how many toys

I deliver in one night?

And eggs I hide in one day?

And, Jack, if you help us,

we will get you your memories.

Ugh!

I'm in.

Quickly! Quickly!

Hop to it, rabbit! I'm five teeth ahead!

Yeah, right.

Look, I'd tell you to stay out of my way,

but, really, what's the point?

'Cause you won't be

able to keep up anyway.

Is that a challenge, cottontail?

Oh, you don't want to

race a rabbit, mate.

A race? Is it a race?

This is going to be epic!

Four bicuspids over there!

An incisor two blocks east.

Is that a molar? They're everywhere!

Oh! Ow!

You Okay?

I'm fine. Sorry.

It's been a really long time

since I've been out in the field.

How long is a long time?

- Hmm.

Ha!

Ahhh!

Twins!

- Oh, jackpot!

Looks like you're a bit of a brumby,

eh, mate?

- Is piece of pie.

- Ow!

That's my tooth! Sandy! Sandy!

On!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Take it easy there, champ.

He's one of us!

Part of the European division. Ca va?

Huh?

Ha!

Crikey!

Yes!

No!

Ho, ho, ho.

Wow! You guys collect teeth

and leave gifts

as fast as my fairies.

You guys have been leaving gifts, right?

Ha!

The lights.

Why aren't they going out?

They're collecting the teeth?

Pipe down or I'll stuff a pillow with you!

Fine. Have your last hurrah.

For tomorrow,

all your pathetic scrambling

will be for nothing.

Left central incisor,

knocked out in

a freak sledding accident.

I wonder how that

could've happened, Jack.

Kids, huh?

This was always the part I liked most.

Seeing the kids.

Why did I ever stop doing this?

Hmm.

It's a little different up close, huh?

Thanks for being here, Jack.

I wish I'd known about your memory.

I could have helped you.

Yeah, well...

Look, let's just get you taken care of.

Then it's Pitch's turn.

Here you are!

Shh!

What gives, slowpokes?

How you feeling, Toothy?

- Believed in.

That's what I want to hear.

Oh, I see how it is. All working together

to make sure the rabbit gets last place.

You think I need help to beat a bunny?

Check it out, Peter Cottontail.

You call that a bag of choppers?

Now that's a bag of choppers.

Gentlemen, gentlemen.

This is about Tooth.

It's not a competition.

But if it was, I win! Yee-haw!

Oh, no.

Santa Claus?

- The Easter Bunny?

Sandman?

The Tooth Fairy! I knew you'd come!

Surprise! We came.

He can see us?

Most of us.

Shh! You guys, he's still awake.

Sandy, knock him out.

Huh?

With the Dreamsand, you gumbies!

No, stop!

That's the Easter Bunny!

What are you doing, Abbey? Down!

All right, nobody panic.

But that's a greyhound.

Do you know what

greyhounds do to rabbits?

I think it's a pretty safe bet

he's never met a rabbit like me.

Six-foot-one,

nerves of steel.

Master of tai-chi

and the ancient art of...

Crikey!

Stop! Sit!

Down, girl, down!

Whoa!

Sandy!

Sandy!

She's rabid!

Get this dingo off me!

Oh, no.

Candy canes...

Whoa!

Whoops.

Oh, I really wish

I had a camera right now.

Sandy, come on!

We can find Pitch!

Pretty.

Bunny, hop, hop. Hop!

Ooh!

Ow!

What... Huh?

Whoo!

Yes!

I got it.

Sandy!

Sandy, did you see that?

Look at this thing.

Frost?

You know, for a neutral party,

you spend an awful lot of time

with those weirdos.

This isn't your fight, Jack.

You made it my fight

when you stole those teeth!

Teeth? Why do you

care about the teeth?

Now this is who I'm looking for.

Remind me not to get on your bad side.

Okay, easy.

You can't blame me for trying, Sandy.

You don't know what it's like

to be weak and hated.

It was stupid of me

to mess with your dreams.

So, I'll tell you what.

You can have them back.

You take the ones on the left,

I'll take the ones on the right?

Boo!

Huh?

Come on!

You might want to duck.

We've got to help Sandy!

Yah!

No!

- Jack!

Don't fight the fear, little man!

Hurry! Hurry, Jack!

I'd say "sweet dreams,"

but there aren't any left.

Sandy?

No!

No!

- Jack!

Jack, how did you do that?

I didn't know I could.

Finally!

Someone who knows

how to have a little fun!

Are you all right?

I just...

I wish I could've done something.

Done something?

Jack, you stood up to Pitch.

You saved us!

But Sandy...

Would be proud of what you did.

I don't know who you were

in your past life.

But in this life, you are Guardian.

But how can I know who I am

until I find out who I was?

You will.

I feel it

in my belly.

Look how fast they're going out.

It's fear.

He's tipped the balance.

Hey, buck up, you sad sacks!

We can still turn this around!
