In a dark alley within New York, Whiplash was running as quickly as he could as someone shot at him. He quickly turned around and whipped is electro whips at his pursuer, only for them to be deflected by some sort of shield.
His pursuer was none other than the Enchantress and she was quite steamed after Red Skull's betrayal. He then quickly ran down the corner only to collide with Executioner, who had lost his battleaxe from his battle with Gronckle and was now holding a pair blasters.
He turned around and saw that the charges of approaching him down the other side of the alley and soon found himself raising his back against the wall.
"Where is Red Skull!" Enchantress demanded.
"I don't know," he said fearfully. "I swear Enchantress that I had nothing to do with—"
Executioner then pinned him against the wall with his blasters. He panicked when he saw Enchantress raising her hand which was covered with magic.
"I don't know where he is, but I know where Arnim Zola is, I'll tell you but you have to promise to let me go," Whiplash pleaded.
The magic around the Enchantress' hands then vanished as she knelt down towards him and placed a hand on his cheek. "Of course, all I want is Red Skull."
"Zola's hold up in a warehouse in Jersey, 1019 S. Bine Street" he said.
Enchantress smiled at him. "Thank you, Whiplash."
Whiplash breathed a sigh with relief, but then he saw Enchantress raising her hand and magic appeared around it.
"No, no, you promised!" he cried.
"I lied," she said and then unleashed her magic upon him.
Immediately he began to turn to gold.
Enchantress then turned to Executioner. "Come my Executioner let us show these mortal worms what evil truly means."
Meanwhile Captain was rushing through a street in Washington and with him was Gronckle. He gave Gronckle a signal he immediately kicked down the metal door. Once he entered Captain of centre signal and Captain Maverl and Toothless moved out.
"Clear," said Toothless.
"Clear…" said Captain Marvel. He then stared what was in front of him. "I think."
"That's disappointing," said Gronckle.
"You're going to want to see this, Cap," said Hunter.
Captain approached and they saw the Living Laser, though he had seen better days. He was trapped in some sort of status field while his light form.
"He's certainly seen better days," said Captain. He then turned to Toothless. "What happened to him?"
Toothless began to scan him. "He appears to be frozen in his light form."
"So what? Someone took him down for us," said Gronckle.
"That's fantastic," Captain Marvel smiled. "We've been tracking down the Masters of Evil for what… weeks now."
Toothless then turned and faced them. "The obvious question are who did this and why?"
"You're so ungrateful," said Captain Marvel. "This is a good thing."
Captain then got a signal on his ID card. "Go ahead, Night Fury."
"I've got news, we found Whiplash," said Night Fury.
Night Fury was with the other New Vikings in the alleyway which has been cordoned off by the police.
"Did he put up a fight?" Captain asked.
"Not exactly," said Night Fury.
"I'm keeping him," said Wasp as she flew around him.
"Yeah, we'll good in our dorm room," Ant-Man nodded.
Night Fury shook his head. "Whiplash has been turned to gold, but as far as I can tell he is still alive, but he was down before we got here."
"This is great," said Captain Marvel. "We're going to wrap this up in no time."
Meanwhile in a warehouse in Jersey, Arnim Zola was standing there with his arms behind his back.
"Enchantress, please, I know you're there," said Zola.
Then emerging out of the shadows was Enchantress and Executioner.
The Enchantress looked at him square in the eye, if he had any eyes. "All I want is, Red Skull. Tell me where he is and you may live through this."
Zola chuckled. "Unlikely, I was monitoring both Whiplash and the Living Laser when you made them similar offers, you see."
The Executioner pointed his blast at his head, or chest.
The Enchantress then marched up to. "Tell me where he is or your fate will be worse than Whiplash and the Living Laser."
"I think not," said Zola as he backed away and the camera on his head flashed.
Suddenly both Enchantress and Executioner found some sort of ooze forming around them until it's all them whole. It then took the form as one of Zola's creatures. Zola then approached it and erupted on the head clearly proud.
However, something unusual happened to the creature, it looked as if it was wincing in pain. Then steam began to exit from it as it hardened and then exploded knocking Zola backwards. He stared in horror as he saw Enchantress, whose hands were covered in magic, and Executioner, whose blasters were smoking.
"That was a fatal mistake you pathetic freak," said Enchantress as she approached him.
"No! No! No!" Zola yelled.
Then the entire warehouse went silent as the Enchantress unleashed her wrath upon him. Red Skull had seen the entire thing from a security camera and knew that he was next.
Captain's team then returned back to the mansion and Captain Marvel was still happy that someone had taken down to members of the Masters of Evil.
"Look, who cares who did it," he said looking at the others. "The Living Laser is down, he's locked up in 42. Mission accomplished."
"Toothless, what's Night Fury's ETA?" Captain asked.
"Night Fury and his team have diverted to a warehouse in New Jersey," said Toothless. "Responding to a Cold Blue in progress." He then stood up straight. "We have intruders and communication from the outside is down."
"Move!" Captain ordered.
Meanwhile Night Fury and his team had discovered Zola, he hanging from the ceiling by his own ooze creation and was completely unconscious.
"Someone is certainly taking down the Masters of Evil," said Astrid.
"Yeah, the million-dollar question is who," said Hunter.
Night Fury was busy trying to contact Captain with commlink. "Cap, we've found Arnim Zola although someone else found him first." However, he received no reply. "Cap?" Still he heard nothing and immediately turned towards the others. "Something is wrong."
Captain meanwhile was leading everyone as they were searching for the intruders. They had just entered the elevator which led them to the launching pad, but found no one. They made their way to the foyer and once they discovered who the intruders were Captain Marvel and Toothless raise their hands preparing to attack.
"Hold it right there," said Toothless.
Standing in front of them were the remaining Masters of Evil, apart from Skrill who was nowhere to be seen.
Red Skull looked at them with his hands behind his back. "New Vikings, I acquire your assistance."
Gronckle immediately charged an Abomination and began to pound the guy. Toothless immediately engage the Grey Gargoyle and Hunter unleashed his arrows. Wonder Man quickly disintegrated the arrows with beams shooting out of his eyes and Toothless and Grey Gargoyle then began to wrestle with one another. Captain and Captain Marvel then surrounded Red Skull.
"New Vikings, please we're not here to fight," said Wonder Man. "Just please listen to what Skull has to say."
Immediately Hunter lowered his bow and Toothless disengage with Grey Gargoyle.
Red Skull then turned to Captain. "You are the aggressors here, your monster attacked my monster."
Captain narrowed his eyes and turned to Gronckle. "Gronckle, stand down."
Gronckle slammed Abomination's head into the ground before standing up. "Now I'll stand down."
Toothless looked at Red Skull. "Someone is attacking your team."
Red Skull nodded. "Yes, it would seem as if Amora the Enchantress has declared war on the."
Snotlout snorted. "I suppose that's what happens when you try to make a slave out of a dangerous psychopathic sorcerer."
Red Skull narrowed his eyes. "She has chosen to blame me for the failure of her little scheme and is now eliminating my team one by one trying to find me."
Then suddenly they heard the smashing of glass and saw Night Fury landed on the ground followed by Astrid holding Hunter in a hand, Ant-Man, who jumped off Night Fury's shoulder and return to normal size, and Wasp who fluttered around them all.
"It over, Skull," said Night Fury holding out his Repulsor towards the man. "The New Vikings…" He stopped when he noticed that the others were just standing there. "Okay, any reason why the New Vikings are just standing around?"
"Tomato face over there says he's giving up," said Captain Marvel.
Night Fury stared at him.
"In exchange for your ageing dealing with the Enchantress' wraith we will surrender," said Red Skull.
"You expect us to believe that," said Astrid pointing Glamdring at him.
"Believe what you will Thunderss, but we all have a common purpose," said Red Skull bluntly. "We all wish to see the end of the Enchantress and her Executioner."
Captain Marvel narrowed his eyes. "Why are we even talking about this, we should just blast them?"
Red Skull looked at Hiccup. "Your cousin, Haddock, is clearly not the strategic mind you are. We do not have much time, Zola gave the Enchantress a location I sent the Skrill to delay her, but she will make him talk. She will come here next."
"You sent Dagur to die?" Night Fury said sounding appalled.
"That is what a team is for, yes?" said Red Skull marching up towards him. "But you should be concerned with the Enchantress, because no doubt one she takes cares of us she'll go after you. Even with Astrid help, you stand no chance against her magic."
"Don't be so sure," said Night Fury. "Ever since the mess with Loki either devising a way in order to deal with as Asgardain magic and I have found a way to neutralise it."
Hunter looked at Toothless. "Really?"
"In theory," said Toothless.
"If the Enchantress is after you then we can use you as bait to lure her in into a trap. The device I'm working on a magic dampener, she will be powerless and then we can take her out and save you sadly," Night Fury explained.
Red Skull looked at him. "Do I have your word?"
"Yes," said Night Fury.
Red Skull narrowed his eyes. "Not yours, Haddock." He then turned his eyes upon Captain. "His."
Captain merely narrowed his eyes. "You have my word."
Red Skull nodded.
Once that was agreed they split up into their separate teams and began discussing with one another about this alliance.
"Can I just say that I don't like this," said Wasp.
"Yeah, why should we help that guy?" Ant-Man asked.
"Because this is our best chance to entrap the Enchantress," said Astrid. "My father has been trying to capture never quite some time, she still need to answer for her crimes."
"True, but we all know that Skull isn't going to surrender, we have to expect a doublecross here," said Hunter.
"We should just smash them," said Gronckle cracking his knuckles.
Captain Marvel looked at him mockingly. "Nice plan genius, how long did it take you to come up with that one?"
Gronckle glared down at him. "I can smash you too."
"I'd like to see you try," Captain Marvel smirked.
"Can we just focus on the task in hand," said Toothless. "I agree with Astrid analysis, the Enchantress is the pressing issue we cannot allow her to roam free on Earth."
"Agreed," Night Fury nodded. "Toothless start setting up the trap and take Captain Marvel for good measure. Gronckle, you, Captain, Wasp and Ant-Man keep an eye on the Masters."
"What about us?" Hunter asked.
"We're going to save the Skrill," said Night Fury plainly.
In the desert, Skrill was indeed battling against Enchantress and Executioner. He was unleashing every single laser and missile he had at them, the Enchantress quickly raised the ground using her magic protecting herself.
Skrill the landed on the ground began to fire his lasers breakaway the stone shield the Enchantress had created. However, before he had a chance to break through, the Enchantress use magic to form the ground beneath him into a giant hand which grabbed him. He then raises gauntlet revealing another set of missile launchers, but before he could fire the Executioner took it out with a blast from his blasters.
Then he and his Enchantress made their way towards him. "I have only one question for you Skrill and I believe you already know what that question is."
"You should really be asking yourself what you do when you face us!" Astrid's voice cried.
They turned and saw lightning striking the ground and saw Astrid flying above them along with Night Fury and Hunter, who had jumped at the sky cycle, who immediately fired a volley of arrows. Night Fury slammed himself right into Executioner and prowling him into the ground and the Enchantress quickly raised the shield blocking Hunter's arrows. Astrid then unleashed a bolt of lightning directly at the Enchantress so powerful that it broke the shield and sending her backwards.
Night Fury was now approaching Executioner, who looked at just in time to see him swinging the fish directly at him. He then quickly grabbed his fist and smiled evilly, but then Night Fury unleashed a surge of electricity from his armour electrocuting him.
The Enchantress saw this and got to her feet and began firing busts of magic at both Astrid and Hunter.
"This is not your concern New Vikings, stay out of—" She stopped when she realised something. "Skull, he's gone to you for help hasn't her?"
Night Fury was now floating behind pulling out his Repulsors. "I'm giving you one chance, surrender."
Enchantress turned towards him. "Pathetic, don't think you aren't on my list too Night Fury."
She then clinched her fist and then immediately rose the ground beneath his feet. Astrid then charged towards her, but Enchantress began to cause the ground to rise up into the air which quarter and trapped within a large collection of rock.
"I don't think I've forgotten about you, wench," she spat.
She then forced the ground above her to collapse brawling right on top of everyone.
Meanwhile, Captain was in an elevator with Red Skull.
"Night Fury would betray me, all of them would gladly let the Enchantress have her vengeance against me, if it suited their needs," said Red Skull. "But not you… not the noble Captain. Isn't that right?"
Captain said nothing as an image of Toothless appeared on the screen. "I am ready for Skull, Captain."
"We're on our way," said Captain.
Toothless was in the midst of explaining the device to both Captain Marvel and Wonder Man in the training area.
"Asgardain magic is in many ways the signs of its own, another form of energy manipulation," he said as he readied the device. "This device can shut down the Enchantress's connection to that energy."
"Wouldn't the same thing happened to Astrid?" Captain Marvel asked.
"Indeed, but she would have the clear advantage over the Enchantress even without the powers she is after all a warrior above all," said Toothless.
"Do you think this will work?" Wonder Man asked.
"I do just as I believe the New Vikings can help you Wonder Man," said Toothless. "You need not be under Skull's control."
Wonder Man narrowed his eyes. "This isn't about Skull! Haddock destroyed my life!"
"You mean you destroyed your life," said Captain Marvel.
"He destroyed my company!" Wonder Man spat.
"He saved your company," Toothless correct. "Hiccup, merely wanted to work with you not against you. Your company would have failed if he had not intervened, but he would not listen to his words. The company is still technically your and the people that work to you still work there."
Wonder Man stared at him. "You're not lying?"
Captain Marvel laughed. "If you think my cousin would ever think of destroying someone's work then you don't know who you're talking about."
"Hiccup has also found a way to hold your energy form together," Toothless added. "He has found a cure for you."
Wonder Man was taken aback. "What?"
"You not fooling us," said Captain Marvel. "We know full well that Skull is gonna turn himself in all the rest of you for that matter."
"So what is he going to do instead?" Toothless asked.
It was at that moment that Captain and Red Skull and a training area.
"Impress me, android," said Red Skull.
Toothless then turned to the device. "The plan is simple. When the Enchantress finds you here I will activate the power dampness from the observation room."
"No," said Red Skull bluntly. "Not you…" He then looked to Captain. "The Captain."
A split second later they had alarms sounding.
"We've got intruded incoming," said Toothless.
"So it begins," said Red Skull.
Everyone in the foyer then took on battle positions as they heard a knock at the door. Wasp immediately flew towards the door and opened it and then to their surprise Whiplash rushed in.
"Wait, weren't you made of golden hour ago?" Wasp asked.
"Please, New Vikings to help me," Whiplash pleaded. "They're right behind me."
Then suddenly they saw missile heading straight towards them and the moment it hit in the foyer it exploded knocking them all off their feet. Then emerging from the smoke was the Executioner and the moment they saw him both Gronckle and Abomination charged at him by the Grey Gargoyle and Ant-Man.
A few moments later, Wasp and the training room with Whiplash, who had an arm around her shoulder.
"Guys, it's Executioner, the others are fighting him upstairs, he was chasing Whiplash," said Wasp.
Toothless switched his filters and saw that Whiplash was not who he was meant to be.
"That is not Whiplash!" Toothless informed.
Immediately Whiplash pushed wasp aside and then transformed into Enchantress.
"It's over, Skull," she said with rage in her eyes as a fists began to glow. "Now you pay! Now you all pay!"
She then immediately launched a blast of magic power straight at Toothless and Wasp sending him across the training area and knocking them out cold. Captain Marvel and Wonder Man then unleashed their energy blasts directly at her, but she created a shield blocking their attacks.
The two of them then flew towards her and she extended her hand causing the ground beneath them to rise. Captain Marvel was able to dodge it, but Wonder Man found himself pinned to the ceiling unable to break free. Captain Marvel then swung a powerful fist towards the Enchantress, the merely teleported and reappeared behind him. Then before he could react she caused the ground to rise which consumed him in a ball of dirt.
With all of them now defeated she turned her attention to Red Skull, who merely stood there with his hands behind his back.
"Did you really think the New Vikings would fare any better than your worms?" she said as she walked towards him.
"Yes," he said with a smile. "Activated the dampeners, Captain." However, nothing happened in the Enchantress kept on advancing towards him. "Now Captain!"
Captain was in the observation room, but in even raise a finger to help him. Enchantress then raised her hand which was covered in magic and Red Skull slowly backed away.
"Captain!" he yelled. Still nothing happened and then he reached for his satchel. "Disappointing."
He then immediately held out a bright blue cube and the Enchantress recognised it almost instantly. It was none other than the Tesseract.
Meanwhile in the foyer, Ant-Man and Grey Gargoyle had been knocked out cold leaving only Gronckle and Abomination left fighting. Abomination was able to deal a powerful punch that caused him to lose one of his blasters. He then swung again, but executioner dodged and slammed him with the blaster and then the boy had time to react blasted him right in the chest sending him flying.
He then turned and saw Gronckle approaching him and grabbed hold of his blaster just as he pulled down on the trigger. This caused the blast to explode and Executioner was sent flying into one of the pillars before falling back onto the floor.
Gronckle then made his way towards him. "You sure you want to try this again? Last time we fought, all you lost was your axe this time it will be worse."
Executioner merely glared at him and the two of them charged at one another.
Enchantress was still facing Red Skull who was holding the Tesseract out in front of him. The appearance of the Tesseract gave her a moment of pause.
"Your life was forfeit the moment you betrayed me, Skull," said the Enchantress. "But you now risk all of the Nine Realms. Tesseract is far too powerful for single mortal to wield."
"I know quite a bit about the Tesseract, it is what brought me before your master," said Red Skull not wavering. "And you speak me of betrayal? You when you're master planning to do the same thing to me, I just acted first."
"How did you get your hands on that in the first place?" Enchantress demanded.
"After our last meeting I knew that I needed another hand and I knew where to look," said Red Skull. "I was hoping not to reveal my hand which is why I came to the New Vikings, but apparently I cannot trust them either. Now back away or else you will feel the full power of the Tesseract."
Wonder Man then finally managed to break free from his confinement and then flew down towards her. Then they heard the sound of rumbling and watching the ceiling gave way and Gronckle and Executioner fell through.
"Executioner, I need you!" Enchantress demanded.
Executioner then dealt a powerful kick to Gronckle and then grabbed his wrist and spun him around forcing him to collide with Wonder Man and they both crashed through the wall into the observation room. Captain quickly activated his shield, but he barely had time to react when the two of them collided into him.
Enchantress then looked at Red Skull. "Looks like there's no one left to save you from my wraith, Skull."
"Apart from me," said Red Skull he then unleashed a powerful beam from the Tesseract which headed straight towards her.
Executioner then placed himself between her and the blast taking it right in the chest. The blast had enough strength to leave his armour smoking and then he collapsed to the ground falling unconscious.
The Enchantress then quickly knocked the Tesseract out of his hand and lifted him up in the air by the helm of his jacket.
"You will have fool to ever cross me, Skull," she glared.
Then suddenly an arrow appeared nowhere and stuck itself under her head sending a massive jolt of electricity through her body causing her to release Red Skull. He turned and saw Night Fury and the others had arrived and discovered that it was Hunter who saved him.
"Look we got here just in time," said Hunter.
In rage the Enchantress pulled off the arrow attached to her head into the magic blast towards Hunter. He prepared to fire another arrow, but he got struck by the blast and then fell to the ground been knocked unconscious.
Night Fury, Astrid and Skrill then landed on either side of her completely surrounding her.
"Activating dampening field now," said Night Fury.
Immediately the device in the centre of the room lit up and then just as the Enchantress was about to blast them when her magic powers vanished. She wasn't the only one who lost her powers, Astrid looked at Glamdring and saw that she can no longer reducing lightning.
She then looked at him impressively. "Impressive work, Night Fury."
"No, no," said the Enchantress looking at her hands. "What have you done?"
"I turned off your magic sadly the same thing has happened Astrid, but I very much doubt you can beat her in hand-to-hand combat," said Night Fury.
"Indeed," Astrid smiled. "I suggest you come along quietly Enchantress."
Enchantress watched as everyone else approached her, including Captain, Gronckle and Wonder Man, who had recovered.
"Oh, you won't be taking her," said Red Skull. He then turned his remaining followers. "Skrill, Wonder Man, destroy the New Vikings!"
Skrill immediately held out his arms which turned into machine guns and aimed them at both Captain and Night Fury, who was now helpless.
"No what—" Night Fury was then blasted by Skrill.
"Haddock!" Wonder Man yelled.
Skrill then turned his attention upon Captain firing everything he had. Captain raised his shield, but was slowly being pushed back until he was back to back with Gronckle. Gronckle immediately jumped and Skrill fired a couple of missiles straight at him sending him flying.
Captain then charged towards him blocking his blasts and then performed a jump kick against his armour. He landed on Skrill's arms and saw him raising his machine gun and raised his shield quickly. Astrid, who no longer had any magic charged towards him and slamming Glamdring into his leg and soon Night Fury joined them.
Wonder Man only watched as both Red Skull and the Enchantress circled around one another. Red Skull then pulled out a blast of his own and aimed it at Enchantress.
"Goodbye, Amora," he said.
However before he could pull the trigger, Wonder Man disarmed him. "Enough, Skull! I'm not going to stand by and watch any more, I am not going to let you hurt anyone else because I'm afraid!"
He then started to make his way over towards Red Skull, who backed away slowly away from him.
Skrill grabbed Astrid and tossed her aside and then blasted Night Fury with a machine gun. He then reverted his right hand back to normal and raises gauntlet firing a missile towards Captain. He was able to dodge it and soon somersaulted and he was behind the machine and Skrill tried another missile.
Captain deflected it and it struck the device turning it off and knocking Red Skull to the ground. Naturally with the device destroyed Enchantress left her powers returning. She raised her hand preparing the blast Red Skull, but then he dived for the Tesseract and grabbed it.
Immediately stood up and held it out. "I'll destroy you all!"
"I don't think so, Skull!" Wonder Man yelled and snatches from him.
"No!" Red Skull yelled.
The moment Wonder Man grabbed hold of it began to glow and Red Skull grabbed him trying to stop him and suddenly there was a massive explosion that blew everyone off their feet.
Night Fury regained consciousness and discovered that both Wonder Man and Red Skull had vanished into thin air. He then turned towards Captain, who was slowly getting up and looked at him suspiciously beneath his helmet.
"Why didn't you activate the dampeners before we got here?" he asked.
Captain looked at him. "I can't get the control to work."
Night Fury couldn't put his finger on it, but he had a strong feeling that there was something terribly wrong with Ragnar.
Once everyone had regained consciousness they met up in the lounge and when Hiccup entered on his robe after a nice long shower he looked at them all proudly.
"As horrible as it was, we didn't do too badly," he said. "We've got Abomination, Skrill and Grey Gargoyle locked up."
"And I have just finished transporting the Enchantress and Executioner to Asgard where they will be waiting trial," Astrid added.
"Which means the Masters of Evil are pretty much finished," Hiccup concluded.
"And we're alive, there's that," said Hunter.
"Because of Wonder Man," said Toothless. "With the power of the Tesseract, Red Skull may have become unstoppable. Wonder Man's sacrifice saved us all."
"I'm more concerned about where they went," said Hiccup looking in the mirror. "They could be anywhere within the universe, we know very little about the Tesseract."
Everyone just remain there in silence.
When Red Skull regained consciousness he found himself in some sort of void in the depths of space.
"Where am I?" he said looking around.
"You now serve me," said a voice.
Red Skull and saw a large being, who was a good head taller than Gronckle looking down at him from a throne made of stone. He was wearing yellow armour and his face was completely purple, his eyes showed no remorse, no mercy.
"Who are you?" said Red Skull.
The being then rose up from his throne. "I am Thanos."
