Jack and his friends ate at a rather cheap restaurant. The food there didn't taste that great but it was okay, though Earth food was preferred. Walking out something caught Aster's attention and made his friends stop.

"Hold up..." Aster held his hand up to make everyone stop then motioned his hand at what or who grabbed his attention.

A brown haired young man with a goatee sat on the ground with his head resting on his knees. He was sitting right in front of the same restaurant Jack and his friends went into. He wasn't there before they went in. He didn't even raise his head when they walked up to him.

"Um..." Tiana knelt down and tilted her head at him. "Are you okay, sir..?"

Finally raising his head, he sighed and answered. "I'm trying to find a girl."

Nick nudged Sandy with a grin. "Boy, aren't we all, eh? At that, Sandy gave a soft chuckle. Tiana rolled her eyes at them then looked back at the unknown male.

Ignoring Nick and Sandy, the man stood up, as well as Tiana, and rubbed the back of his head. He wore a white button up shirt with a green vest and brown pants with brown boots to match. The male pinched the bridge of his nose, sighing once more. "Her name is Rapunzel. I haven't seen her since last night... We got separated. She's got really, really long blonde hair, green eyes, pink dress and she's real sweet. ... A little gullible too. Have you seen her?"

Tiana looked back at her friends who all shrugged and shook her head slowly. "No, I'm sorry..."

"But maybe we could help you." Jack cut in with a smile. "She can't be too far away." It made Jack feel bad when someone was alone and looking so sad for some reason.

"Uh. Well, you don't have to do that. It is almost sundown after all." The brown haired male was right. The sun was falling, that meant stronger monsters. This didn't faze Jack in the slightest, however.

"No worries! We'll get back in no time. We're pretty close to the exit of Fenmont, after all. And besides, that's all the more reason to go! You shouldn't be going alone anyway."

Nick smiled and placed a hand on Jack's shoulder. "He's right! We'll help you, friend."

The man looked like he wanted to refuse their offer but after seeing their smiles and willingness to help, he rubbed the back of his neck and laughed. "Alright, alright. Jeez. Thank you."

"No need for thanks! Now, come along." Nick dragged his white haired friend as he led the way and everyone followed. Aster's rabbit ears twitched and it made him stop in his tracks, making Tiana bump into him. He sniffed the air and stared off in the opposite direction.

Tiana rubbed her nose and looked at Aster with confusion on her face. "You okay there?"

"... Something just feels off all of a sudden." He shrugged and walked forward again, Tiana also looking in the opposite direction before moving to follow. "Must be my imagination."

Jack, finally free of Nick's grip, looked over at their new comrade. "By the way, my name is Jack. This big guy right here is Nick, the silent one over here is called Sandy, bunny ears over there-"

Aster's face twitched. "Hey!"

"He's Aster. And that girl over there is Tiana. I call her Tooth though. Nice to meet you."

The man smiled and nodded his head. "Nice to meet you all, too." He winked and pointed to himself with his thumb.

"The name's Eugene."

...

The horned woman wore a black cloak when she walked into Fenmont with her hood up. She had her staff that held a green orb, a crow on her shoulder, and brought with her an eerie feeling. No matter who was in her path, they quickly moved in plain fear. This woman's level couldn't even be seen. She walked the path that was headed to the empress's castle. She stopped when a group decided not to move out of the way.

"What?" The man speaking turned around to face the strange woman. "You can just walk around. I'm in the middle of-" He was suddenly hit across the side of the face with the staff and his body was flung to the left. Everyone gasped, looking frighted and moved out of the way. She almost killed him in one hit.

"Fools." The woman muttered low but because everyone was scared into a stiff silence, they heard her loud and clear.

Making her way to the courtyard of the castle she slowed down. No guard or anything. It was rather quiet actually. Which was suspicious. The last time she came she was forced out of town within mere seconds of stepping foot on the castle grounds. As well as that, she was also weaker that time, but because the world is off balance, she feels normal. In fact, she felt stronger ever since the world went off balance, she could now probably hold her own.

Thinking this made her grin wickedly and in that same moment, someone came through the front doors of the castle. Empress Aurora, completely alone.

The woman took off her hood with an expressionless face. Her face was green looking, red lipstick, purple eye-shadow. She wore two black horns on her head, her hair could not be seen at all. Maybe it was just the way she looked, but this woman was definitely giving off some evil vibes.

"Maleficent. What brings you here?" Her highness spoke in a voice that was steady, a smile on her face but not sounding too friendly.

"So that pathetic plan of yours was to bring more weaklings into this realm?" The woman, Maleficent, grinned hearing her own words. "My, how desperate. You must not only be losing your strength but your wits as well."

The empress smiled small and placed her hands behind her back. "You shouldn't underestimate them. They will surely restore balance to this world. You'll see soon enough."

"Restore balance? Ha! You must be delusional, child. You think I would let something such as that happen? This time, you won't win. This time... Chaos will reign, just as it should have before."

Her face twitched and suddenly turned sour, like she and Maleficent had this conversation before. "You know that throwing this world into chaos will bring nothing but destruction. You would have chaos take over just so you can have a waste land to rule over? What's even more inconceivable is that you think you will actually be able to succeed."

Maleficent began to laugh, putting a bewildered face on Aurora. "You must really be losing your strength if you haven't realized what I've done."

Aurora blinked until she finally realized what was happening and became rigid.

...

A red headed female stretched her arms and yawn walking back into town. Spotting Astrid and Hiccup, she waved with a smile but they didn't wave back - They were staring at something behind her.

"Um, everything okay? You look like ya seen a ghost or something." She asked in a Scottish accent.

"Merida..." Astrid blinked, finally speaking after a moment. "How did that happen?"

Merida turned and looked at sight with wide eyes, just as every person who passed by the sight.

The sun had set and monsters were right in at the entrance of Fenmont.

In fact, hundreds monsters were surrounding all of Fenmont.
