It was the second year for Hiccup on Berk Duel Academy and things had finally calmed down after the incident with Alvin, or as calm down as being get round there. One of the biggest changes had to be that Hiccup's father had left Berk for some unknown reason.

Gobber was now in charge of the campus, but that didn't stop Spitelout and an old grumpy-looking man.

His name was Mildew and he was as strict as Spitelout and hated slackers just as much, which was no doubt how come the two got on very well. However, he also had a tendency of annoying people and he really hated Slifers.

"Tell me why where heading to the docks?" Mildew asked Spitelout.

"Chancellor Gobber which is for us to greet the new students," said Spitelout, who was now Vice Chancellor.

"And what does that matter?" Mildew asked impatiently.

"He had a very good reason," said Spitelout when they finally reached the docks. "Eret the Trapper enrolled here."

"What?" Mildew stared. "There has to be some mistake. Why would a world-class professional go back to school?"

"No idea," said Spitelout. "But with a celebrity under our tutelage we'll be famous."

"Famously stupid," Mildew mumbled.

Meanwhile at the coast, Hiccup was staring at a new freshman. He found something off about this freshman, because he looked five years older than he did and had a very confident look about him.

The freshman had to be a good few inches taller than he was, he had a very handsome motif. He had long black hair and rippling muscles.

"If you want to duel me that's fine," said Hiccup.

Up on the cliffs, Ragnar, Fishlegs and Phlegma were watching as the duel began.

"Day one and Hiccup is already duelling, but with who?" Phlegma asked.

"No idea," said Ragnar.

"He does look familiar," said Fishlegs.

"So what's your name?" Hiccup asked.

"You can call me ET," said ET.

"Well then, ET, let's duel," said Hiccup.

They activated their duel disks and drew five cards.

Hiccup: 4000

ET: 4000

"Let's see what you've got," said Hiccup.

"Bring it," said ET.

It was at that point that Astrid, Heather and Snotlout soon joined with Ragnar and the others on the cliff.

"Whoa, Hiccup doesn't waste any time, does he?" said Astrid.

"Since when has he ever slow down?" Heather joked.

"Figures he'll challenger freshman, which I thought of it," said Snotlout.

"Actually it's the other way round, he had challenged him," said Ragnar crossing his arms.

"Yeah, he just showed up at our dorm room and was all like, 'I wanna throw down the best duellist in the academy and from what I hear that's Hiccup Haddock'," said Fishlegs. "And that brings us here. Now, take a closer look I swear I've seen a guy before."

"Yeah, I think I've seen him as well," Snotlout frowned.

"He certainly looked a bit older to be a freshman," Heather frowned.

"Yeah," Astrid agreed she looked at Hiccup. "And judging by Hiccup's face he knows it as well."

"Do I know you from somewhere?" Hiccup asked as he looked at ET curiously. "I swear acting Uber for."

"I think I just got one of those faces," said ET.

"He could have graduated from that snobby prep school of yours, Snotlout," Phlegma offered.

"Good call," said Fishlegs. "He definitely looks rich enough and stuck up enough."

"Look Fishface, he's nothing like me!" Snotlout snapped.

"Ojama Yellow in defence mode!" ET yelled.

Upon hearing those words Snotlout just turned and stared as Ojama Yellow appeared on ET's side of the field in a defence position. (ATK: 0/ DEF: 1000)

Hiccup blinked. "Ojama? Are you sure?"

"Told you are not alike," said Snotlout. "That's got to be one of the dumbest moves I've ever seen. I would never start out with such a lame card like that."

Ojama Yellow then appeared right next to him. "You save the best for last, right boss? Right?" he said.

"Wrong, now beaded pig stain," said Snotlout.

"I love it when you when use my pet name," he said and vanished.

Astrid then glared at him. "Excuse me?"

It took Snotlout a few seconds to realise that she thought he was talking to her. "Oh, nothing."

"Whatever," said Astrid as she turned down to look at the duel. "I wonder what else he has in his deck."

"Not much I bet," said Phlegma.

"How do you know that?" Ragnar asked.

"It's simple, he just assembled that deck this morning from random cards from the campus card shop," said Phlegma.

Phlegma was sitting at her desk when she saw ET entering.

"Sorry, store isn't open until next week," said Phlegma.

"I just need a few cards," said ET.

"I haven't even started the shelves yet," said Phlegma.

"Then I'll take whatever is lying around," said ET. "I can win a duel with pretty much anything."

Phlegma then watched as ET assembled his deck from random packs.

"Perfect," he said after he finished completing his deck.

"No offence, but you won't last too long at this cause you build your deck like that," said Phlegma.

"I'll be fine," ET assured. "Besides, this is just a temporary deck for a little test."

Everyone stared at Phlegma she finished her story.

"It's true," she said.

"Give me a break," said Snotlout. "Who duels with leftover cards?"

"That guy," Astrid offered.

"He certainly doesn't lack for confidence," said Ragnar as he looked at ET with great curiosity. "I also get this feeling about him that he's more than he seems."

"You think?" said Heather as she looked down at ET.

"My turn," said Hiccup as he drew his card. "I think I'll start by summoning Dragon Knight Hookfang in attack mode!"

Hookfang then appeared on the field in a blazing glory holding his mace firmly in his hand. (ATK: 1600/ DEF: 1000)

"Hookfang show him how we duel at the academy!" Hiccup ordered.

Hookfang then charged at Ojama Yellow and then slammed his blazing maize down on top of him, destroying him instantly.

"I hope you've got more than that," said Hiccup.

ET just smiled at him. "So I guess it's true, you are as good as they say."

"I appreciate the compliment, but you understand much of a chance if you use cards like Ojama Yellow," said Hiccup.

"He's got a point," said Snotlout.

"I mean that something like Snotlout would do."

Snotlout glared down at him as Fishlegs sniggered.

"Let's try this again, shall we?" said ET as he drew his card.

He looked as his entire hand which were just completely full of spell cards and a single trap card. "Soon I'll learn all of Hiccup's strategies," he said to himself. "All I have to do is continue to play we cards."

He then grabbed his trap card and placed it in a slot. "I'll place this face down and—" Then they suddenly heard a beeping sound.

"Something the matter?" Hiccup asked.

"It's cool," said ET as he reached for his phone. "Just my cell phone."

"Seriously?" Hiccup groaned.

ET placed the phone to his ear. "It's me, what up?" Hiccup frowned as ET began talking. "Nah, I'm not busy at all."

"Who whips out a cell phone in the middle of a duel?" Snotlout stared. "That obnoxious!"

"Yeah, no joke," said Fishlegs. "He really is like you Snotlout."

"That's right," said ET. "Yeah, I'm duelling him right now as we speak."

In a pure white room sat a cloaked figure in a white robe. A cloaked figure was fiddling with some tarot cards on a glass table as he listened to ET with the radio in his ear.

"Excellent," he said.

"So, any last-minute word of advice?"

The cloaked figure then flipped one of the cards on the table. It depicted the Grim Reaper upside down.

"The Reaper of souls is in reverse," he said the slight smile on his face. "You know what must be done."

"Absolutely, thanks for the call," said ET.

"Okay, with that out of the way let's carry on with the duel," said Hiccup.

He looked at ET with curiosity, so far he had and impressed in that much. He had only summoned one monster and it was quite weak and he didn't even leave it with much protection. He started to wonder what kind of deck's opponent was using.

"I activate the spell card Reload," said ET the showed his spell card. "And here is how it works, first I toss all my cards and then I place them back in my deck and redraw."

"Your hand must be pretty weak for you to do that," said Hiccup as he watched ET shuffling his deck.

"I admit the hand could be better," said ET, he then placed his deck back into its slot and drew four cards.

"I hope you got something good then," said Hiccup.

"I did, this," said ET as he opened the field card slot. "I activate the Sanctuary in the Sky!"

Suddenly a beam shot out from the ground and Hiccup was forced to cover his eyes. When you are sure it was safe enough to look he found that the entire landscape changed and they found themselves standing on cloud with a large sanctuary right behind ET.

"That card won't be much help unless you play a Fairy type monster," said Hiccup.

"True, but I can easily fix that by summoning Warrior of Zera!" ET yelled.

Suddenly a green armoured warrior appeared on the field. (ATK: 1600/ DEF: 1600)

"But, he won't be out for long, because I'm sacrificing him in order to summon Archlord Zerato!" ET yelled.

A green beam shot out from where Zera was standing and moments later he was replaced with a winged warrior wearing a red scarf and a mask over his face. He was carrying a cutlass sword with him. (ATK: 2800/ DEF: 2300)

ET then discarded the last card in his hand, Mystical Shining Ball. "And here's here's something you might not have expected. I decided to send my Mystical Shining Ball to the Graveyard and take all your monsters with it!"

Suddenly a large beam shot out from the temple behind him and Hookfang was destroyed instantly.

"And now! Archlord Zerato strikers life points directly! Sacred Surge!" ET roared.

Zerato's wings began to glow and then he began to pelt Hiccup with a surge of energised feathers.

Hiccup: 1200

ET: 4000

"That's going to leave a mark," said Fishlegs.

"Who is this guy?" said Ragnar looking down at ET.

"I don't know," said Astrid.

"That's all for now," said ET. He then looked at Hiccup, who was still recovering from the attack. "Hey, are you okay?"

"I'm fine," said Hiccup as he got to his feet. He then drew his card. "It's my turn now and I summon Dragon Knight Meatlug in defence mode."

Meatlug then appeared on the field in a defence position. (ATK: 1300/ DEF: 2000)

"And now I activate the spell card Dragon's Gunfire!" Hiccup yelled revealing a spell card in his hand. "Thanks to this, since my Dragon Knights are treated as dragons I can now deal you 800 points of damage!"

Hiccup placed Dragon's Gunfire in one of his duel disks slots the moment it appeared on the field it blasted ET with a ball of fire.

Hiccup: 1200

ET: 3200

"And with that I end my turn," said Hiccup.

ET brushed himself down and reached for his deck. "It seems as if fate is smiling on me."

Hiccup frowned. "I wouldn't put too much in fate, you should put your trust in your cards."

ET narrows his eyes. "Trust paper and ink, you're nuts? You expect me to have a conversation with my cards?"

"It's not that difficult," said Hiccup.

"You tell him," said Toothless as it appeared alongside him.

ET just stared at him. 'This Hiccup, isn't who I expected at all. I mean, he gives out useless advice and he hears voices in his head. I guess it's time to end this duel and move on with my life.'

Meanwhile the cloaked figure, lived another one of the tarot card and this time it depicted a man on a chariot upside down.

"Ah, the inverted chariot," he said. "A forewarning that the end is near."

Meanwhile Hiccup and ET were still duelling.

"Let's see what you've got and I hope you're listening to your deck," said Hiccup.

"Whatever," ET muttered as he drew.

The card he drew was another useless spell card and Hiccup picked it up. "Bad card?" he asked. "You might need to work on your poker face."

ET smirked. "Perhaps, or maybe I want you to think it's a bad card. Or could it be that I don't want to win."

"And you call me nuts?" said Hiccup.

"When you accepted my challenge, did you stop and ask yourself, what do I want, why did I come here and most importantly, out of everyone here, why did I challenge you?" ET asked. "Well, the truth is I heard you were the best and I came here to test you."

Hiccup raise an eyebrow. "You can't be serious? You mean you are enrolled into the academy just so that you could face me in a duel? There are easier ways to duel."

"True," ET admitted. "But I decided to involve here, because of destiny."

"What?" Hiccup stared.

ET then press the button on his duel disk on his face down revealed itself. "Maybe my Beckoning Light will clear things up. Here's the deal, once I toss out my hand a light attribute monster returns from my Graveyard." He placed the single card he drew into the graveyard slot and it was soon replaced with Mystical Shining Ball. "Now I use Zerato's effect again. And you know what that means, don't you? Your Meatlug is a goner! See ya!"

He then placed Mystical Shining Ball back into the Graveyard and once again the temple blasted a beam destroying Meatlug.

"Okay, I have to admit that's pretty good," said Hiccup.

"You think that impressive watch this," said ET. "Archlord, attack him directly! Sacred Surge!"

"Sorry, but that ain't going to happen, because I activate the effect of Dragon Knight Sharpshot!" said Hiccup.

Then appearing out of nowhere was Sharpshot, who races hands forward and blocked Zerato's attack.

"You see whenever attack directly I can summon Sharpshot to the field and your tunnels actually comes to an end!" Hiccup smirked.

Sharpshot then placed himself in a defence position in front of Hiccup. (ATK: 300/ DEF: 200)

"Now, was that business about destiny, said Hiccup.

"It's simple," said ET. "Everything that happens to us is planned the day were born, loses a born to be losers and legends of born to be legends."

"People might surprise you," said Hiccup. "Me for example and many others."

ET said nothing and remembered his conversation with the robed man before he left for the Academy.

"Once you locate this Hiccup Haddock, he's to defeat you," said the robed man. "Is that understood? It's the only way I can certain that he is indeed the one." He then looked into ET's eyes. "Trust me, it's for the best."

"There's gotta be another way," said ET. "I've never thrown a duel."

"Eret," said the robed man. "How I ever once steered you wrong? You must trust me."

Eret then looked at Hiccup. "How can a manager tell his star player to lose?"

"All right, it's my turn now," said Hiccup as he drew. He looked at the card he drew and smiled. "Since you have a monster out, I can summon this this guy with only one sacrifice. So, I'll sacrifice Sharpshot and replace him with Dragon Knight Toothless!"

Sharpshot jumped into the air and spun and seconds later he was replaced with Toothless landed on the ground creating a powerful gust of wind. (ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2200)

"About time I was out," said Toothless.

"And now I'll activate my field spell Dragon Knight Arena!" said Hiccup as he placed a card in his field card slot.

Everyone watched as the temple and the clouds vanished and were replaced with an arena.

"Thanks to this change of scenery if my Dragon Knight's attack a monster whose attack points are lower than they gain 1000 attack points into the end of the turn."

Toothless held the acts firmly in his hand and felt his power increasing. (ATK: 2500-3500)

"Now attack his Archlord with Plasma Blast!" Hiccup ordered.

Toothless places hands together and created a plasma orb and seconds later he tossed it straight at Zerato causing him to explode into two pixels and Eret braced himself for the impact.

Hiccup: 1200

Eret: 2500

"And now Toothless special ability activates," said Hiccup. "Whenever he destroys an opponent's monster, you take damage equal to your monsters attack points."

Eret looked up and saw Toothless firing another plasma blast at him and he roared in pain as the flames covered his body and then he fell to his knees.

Hiccup: 1200

Eret: 0

The holograms and faded and Hiccup made his way over to Eret.

"Not a bad game," said Hiccup. He looked slightly concerned when Eret didn't stand up. "I hope that wasn't overkill."

"Nah, it's fine," Eret assured. "Nice game."

"Same here," said Hiccup.

"What a duel, huh, guys," said Phlegma. "And the new mystery student, is quite the looker. Anyone catches name?"

All five of them frowned at Phlegma.

"He said his name was ET, but I doubt it came from space," said Ragnar.

They then watched as Eret left, it was still slightly confused about his manager's advice. "I don't get it, sure this Hiccup kid is a decent duellist, but I don't see why manager so obsessed with him. And I still don't understand how joining this school was going to help my career. But I guess Old Wrinkly knows best."

He then looked at Hiccup's friends, who just looked at him curiously and they watch as he walked away.

"I don't suppose you guys have any idea who that guy was," said Hiccup as he made his way up the cliff.

"None," said Ragnar. "Though we didn't pass me off as a freshman."

Hiccup nodded. "I got the feeling we haven't seen the last of ET."

"Hey, wait," said Fishlegs. Everyone turned and looked at him. "He said his name was ET." He then reached into his bag and pulled out a magazine and looked through it. "I knew it, he's Eret the Trapper."

Hiccup stared. "The number one duellist in the world league?"

"A pro?" Astrid stared.

"You've got to be kidding me," said Snotlout.

Ragnar looked over Fishlegs' shoulder and saw the image of Eret and showed it everyone else. "I knew there was something fishy about this guy," he said.

"That would explain a lot," said Heather rubbing the back of her head.

"I take it that there was a good reason how I was able to beat a pro?" said Hiccup looking at all of them.

"There is," said Phlegma as she got to her feet. "That wasn't Eret's real deck, he put together this morning with random cards."

"That would explain a lot," said Hiccup.

"At least you won," Astrid pointed out.

Hiccup crossed his arms and looked over the sea. "Looks got a rematch look forward to."

Meanwhile, Spitelout and Mildew waited all afternoon for Eret and were extremely disappointed when it into his presence.

"This doesn't make any sense," said Spitelout as the last of the students jumped off the ship. "He's not here."

"Left, left, left, right, left," said a voice.

"I'll your horses, I think that's now," said Mildew.

Spitelout looked up. "I think your eyes need checking."

Then suddenly a muscular young man landed on the dark with a mighty thump. He was very brawny and looked like that he had military training.

"Can you tell me who is in charge around here," he said.

"I'm the Vice Chancellor and—" said Spitelout.

The young man then looked at him square in the eye. "I've got a bone to pick, you got that? I'm the best duellist in San Francisco, so why am I stationed in the yellow barracks? I want blue!"

"That's because you're you dint take part in a school prep school," said Spitelout. "No one has complained before!"

"I'm complaining now!" he roared. "And it looks like that either prove myself around here!"

Then watched as the young man marched off.

"Who was that?" Mildew asked.

"I think his name is Wartihog Brandir," said Spitelout. He then frowned of the boat. "That's it, this school is a joke. We need stars like Eret, not more slackers."

"You're right," said Mildew. "We simply have to eliminate the red dorm, then we can say goodbye to the slackers and say hello to the stars."

Spitelout frowned. "Good plan, apart from the fact that Gobber won't allow it, he is the head of the red dorm."

"I'm sure we can find a loophole," said Mildew.

The two of them then laughed maniacally as they began to hatch their evil plan.
