Reign of the Guardians

Rise of the Guardians 2 (in the MRE continuity, "Reign of the Guardians") is a Dreamworks movie that deserves to be made. What the plot would be should it ever be made, who knows. But, here in this wiki, I, an aspiring novelist and storyteller, shall spin my version of the epic story's second installment. I hope you enjoy, and give me feedback! #believeagain

Plot
Twenty years have passed since the events of the first film. Jamie Bennett is now a professional journalist/cryptozoologist. He is married to his childhood friend Pippa, whom is pregnant at the time of the story. Pitch Black, the Nightmare King, has spent the last two decades incarcerated in his underground prison. With no immediate threats to the safety of the world or the children, the Guardians have all gone back to their various corners of the world. But the children are not as safe as they appear. Alone, stripped of his power, and utterly without hope, Pitch Black has spent the last twenty years shrouded in bitterness and despair. But, like fear, despair also comes in a villainous package, and Pitch's despair awakens a powerful ally. ..

With the power of the Guardians restored and Easter a major holiday once more, the Easter Bunny is at the peak of his power. In a time where the children of the world need it most, Hope is at its strongest. But there is no rest for the wicked. At a moment when least expected, a shadow from Bunny's past rears its monstrous head. . .Lerm, the Despair Serpent, has awakened from his slumber. And he is hungry for hope.

Story
'Scene: Opening scene focuses on the frozen lake in Burgess, as in the first movie. It is night, and there is no moon. A slight breeze rustles the trees. The view focuses on the empty sky.'' '''

Narrator(Lerm): Hope. A simple enough word, with many uses. One might hope that it will not rain tomorrow, or hope that they will have pleasant dreams when they sleep. However, in every man's life, there comes a time when hope. . .runs out.

'The view changes, and we are whisked through the trees, and deeper into the forest. The view comes to rest on a pile of raked leaves. As the view closes in on the leaves, a wind scatters them, revealing a filled-in hole in the ground. The view passes through the earth, traveling until we come to a large underground cavern. There is a shining metal globe in our immediate view. The globe is covered with glistening pinpricks of light. The view looks away from the globe and travels deeper into the cavern. As we progress, a male voice shrieking in fear can be heard. The view finally comes to rest on a stone corridor, and there is silence. Then, without, a figure in a black cloak runs through the corridor, looking over his shoulder in a panic. It is Pitch Black, the Nightmare King. Close behind, three large Night Mares pursue him, galloping and whinnying ferociously. Pitch continues to run, turning down random hallways to escape. He melts into the shadows of a wall and finds himself in an empty room with no entrance. He breathes a sigh of relief, but the Night Mares come through as well. Pitch cries out in shock and fear, falling to the floor. He quickly turns to a sitting position and begins inching his way towards the wall, his eyes fixed on the horses. They advance on him, rearing up and snarling menacingly. Pitch furrows his brow. ' Pitch(standing up): Enough! I will run no longer! The nightmares continue to advance.

Pitch(clenching his fists and bracing to fight): I am the Boogieman! You must fear me!!! '''The horses lower their heads and stamp the ground, preparing to charge. ''' to be continued. ..

'Scene: Children on an Easter egg hunt, happily picking up colored ova and placing them in baskets. As they do so, we see Bunny watching from a tree, hanging onto the branches Spiderman-style. He raises a hand to his brow and notices a particularly small boy frantically looking for eggs, but finding nothing. Bunny wrinkles his brow and leaps from his tree to the next, scampering down the trunk. The little boy sits down on the ground right in front of the tree, a sad look on his face as he stares into his empty basket. Then, without warning, the impact of an object landing in his basket jars him. An egg has landed in his basket, with an arrow painted on it. The boy looks straight up as indicated by the arrow. Bunny crouches in the upper branches of the tree, smiling down at the boy. The boy's jaw drops in shock. Bunny raises a forepaw and salutes the boy. '  Bunny: Never stop believing, little mate! (With that, Bunny zips to the next tree, and the next, until he is out of sight. The wide-eyed boy stares off in the direction Bunny has departed.)

Boy: Can I have your autograph?

Narrator(Bunny, running alongside more children collecting eggs): Ah. Another beautiful springtime! I swear, it feels better every year: the sweet smell of flowers on the breeze, the giddy laughter of the youngons in the air; heck, I even convinced Jack to lay off the pranks for a while! Things are on the up-and-up, and I've never felt better!

Bunny runs across a street, jumping over cars, and up telephone pole.
