but just as they had to protect the children, they would also have to fight from time to time some evil beings without feelings. but there would be one that would really make life difficult for them, a minotaur together with other creatures and beings almost on par in strength and power with the guardians and they must stop them together with another well-known and classic monster tale (or should say a troll), which is cultivated in closets.

Plot
Years had passed, while about 2 children named: Jamie and Pippa had married, and had a child, their parents tell them that there are or are guardians who always protect children, and will always fight fear and evil. meanwhile, jack, is now a guardian, and while he makes the children happy with the fun, he is also practicing how to be a better guardian or improve his skills for good by Nicholas St. North; but it happens and it happens that from one moment to another, other creatures and beings come out of the shadows in order to ruin the children's childhood and make them feel afraid again. and now that they have come out, the main leader of them is: krampus, he wants to destroy Nicholas St. North so that Christmas no longer exists and distribute punishment, torture and pain for all children and kidnap a few to use as pets, or prisoners or simply jesters (among them is the son of jamie and pippa), jack together with the others will prevent evil from krampus and his colleagues again. But this time, it will be that they are stronger than their enemy from the past, Peach (Coco). Let's hope this isn't the end of the Guardians.
