Jack had watched the others mess with the keyhole with mild curiosity. Okay, it was a little more than mild because, well, he'd never seen magic keyholes or keyblades before. But it wasn't like he could do much to help, not unless they needed someone cold. The light show had been especially interesting when the keyhole had disappeared and turned into a doorway instead. And while it might have been made of light and magic, Jack knew a door when he saw one. He didn't sit and study it for long though. Instead he got this look on his face, a mischievous look that just spelled trouble. Despite the time they'd spent together, Snowball hadn't quite learned when to anticipate Jack's bouts of trouble-making. Instead she just fluttered by his head and kept her focus on the doorway.

His focus was on it as well. Jack had always been naturally curious and there was just something about the doorway that called to him. Adventure and who knew what else were waiting on the other side. He looked over his shoulder to Snowball, "Race ya!" Snowball squeaked in bafflement as if to ask 'Wait...what Jack what are you doing?' Jack didn't answer though, he just flew towards the door with a trail of frost and snow behind him. Letting out a sharp laugh as he realized he'd completely left everyone in his snowy dust.

Should he have thought this out and possibly waited for someone to explain WHAT the door led to? Probably. But what would have been the fun in that? He was 300 years old and hadn't listened to anyone give him orders in centuries. Why should he start now? Jack was through the doorway before you could say Winter Wonderland and he burst out through the other side...and was promptly nearly blinded by the sudden light of day.

Jack stumbled back in the air, hand going to his eyes to block out the sun for a moment. "Okay, okay, probably should have expected a sun...ow," he muttered, blinking out spots and dropping from his hovering in the air to the cobblestone. Once his eyes adjusted he blinked and looked around, "Woah...where are we?" Snowball tumbled out of the doorway behind him and crashed into his shoulder with an infuriated squeak. Jack chuckled and turned to scoop her up, "You really gotta learn how to keep up, Snowball."

Jack considered it and then nodded. He brought his staff forward into a more battle ready stance. Snowball circles overhead and Jack's eyes fall on some shadows in an alley ahead. He takes a cautious step forward and peers into the shadows. "I don't see anything..."

And of course that's when a hoard of dark-furred bunnies come streaming out of the alley.

"Woah! What!"

"Rabbits!" Luna answered loudly, her magic swinging one up by the ears to look at it before she tossed it hard back down the alley. "Nightmare Rabbits!"

Spreading her wings, she jumped down from her cloud, a quick clip with her hind hooves dissolving her perch behind her. Ever since the Monkey Incident, she was a little disinclined to use her weather magic so heedlessly. Instead, she reared up and lashed out with her hooves and waves of magical force as the rabbits swarmed. They hardly looked as though they would be dangerous on their own, but they traveled in such numbers!

This had to be some sort of karmic retribution for Bunny. It just HAD to be. Jack tried not to dwell on it though and instead focused on the battle. The tip of his staff glowed with a bluish-white light and sparked with icy magic. He shot it forward and caught one of the nightmare rabbits unprepared. It flew backwards and was encased like an ice cube.

Of course, five more rose in its place and Jack twirled his staff, sweeping them aside. He jumped into the air and with the help of the wind did a flip and landed behind the small army of rabbits before quickly blasting them with icy winter air as well. More of them froze but still some of them shook the ice from their ears and lunged at Jack with what could only be described as "bunny fu"

The cold backdraft of Jack's attacks didn't phase Luna at all; pegasi were adapted to flying in colder environments. She was, however, a much larger target than he was, and as a result was being mobbed by quite a few more rabbits. The alicorn beat her wings and reared to dislodge a few that were jumping up and down on her back. It wasn't a matter of alarm, but it was certainly irritating.

Spinning, she let loose with a few bolts of blue light, sniping the Nightmares away before they could get too close. They'd have to remember to map this place out for the others.

Jack grunted as they kicked and smacked him with their ears. They stung but they really weren't THAT heavy of hitters. Certainly nothing compared to the Kooma Panda's ability to inflict damage. He managed to freeze a few more that were close at hand and smacked a few more with his staff. He stayed out of the way of Luna's blasts, not wanting to get hit by anything from friendly fire.

"We must admit - " Luna lashed out, kicking a rabbit away with one hind hoof. " - it did not occur to us that different worlds would contain different species of Nightmare. Perhaps we shall find some Moogles to tell us how to make Spirit rabbits!"

[frostyfuntimes]

"Think I'll pass on the rabbits," Jack snidely remarked, cracking a rabbit on the head with his staff and dream pieces scattered everywhere mixed in with ice shards. The bunny spirits finally seemed to be thinning out and Jack started to relax.

"Guess it makes sense...new world, new creatures." He's not sure really, but it sounds right.

[raisethemoon]

Luna shrugged idly, beginning to levitate a few dream pieces up and teleport them away to her home. She wasn't considering making another Spirit of any kind at the moment, but it always did well to have the materials on hand if she needed them. They were good for trade, anyway.

"We suppose 'tis reasonable. At least they are not terribly dangerous."
