Chapter 9: Saving an Innocent

Rapunzel's POV

After I healed Anna, we helped in into a tent. There she explained what Cyprus was actually planning. He was going to frame Jones for the murder of Clint and marry Elsa so he can become king.

Hiccup nodded and walked outside. I lead Anna to a bed where she could rest. I put the blanket over her.

"Rapunzel, the man who rescued me, he knows you." She said.

"Really?"

"His name is Eugene."

A smile came on my face.

"Thank you for telling me."

I walked out of the tent and looked for Hiccup.

I found him talking to Merida.

"So, what's the plan now?" I asked.

Hiccup turned to me.

"We need you to rescue Jones. Cyprus might kill him when we attack. We need to make sure there are no loose ends."

"He also has Eugene." I said.

"We'll get him out later. Right now we need to focus on getting Jones to safety."

"You can count on me." I said with a wink.

...

The night was cool. The moon was blocked out by clouds. I hummed my song very softly to light a tip of my hair.

I had most of my hair braided. I had two strands of hair that wasn't braided, those were to help me scale the castle wall. I wore Taylor's stealth outfit. All black with a black cloak to hid my hair.

I made my way through the streets. The castle was a beacon of light in the darkness. All the torches shined brightly against the darkness.

I came up to the castle walls and threw up my hair. It latched onto the top. I quietly climbed up the side and onto the top.

I then lowered myself down the courtyard. I quietly moved through the shadows, my cloak helping me stay hidden.

I followed Anna's instruction and went to the kitchen door. I slowly opened the door and shut it. I turned around to see a cook staring at me.

"Shh. I'm with the Big Four." I whispered

The cook just nodded.

I sneaked out of the kitchen and down the hall. I came to Cyprus's room. The door was still gone from when Toothless blasted it. But there were two guards at the doorway.

I used my hair to get up on the beams above them. I maneuvered my way above them.

I grabbed the vial that Hiccup gave me. It's from a dragon that produces a gas that knock a man out for a couple of hours.

I held my breath and opened the vial. I the dropped the vial. The gas hit the guards instantly. They were knocked out cold.

I gave the gas a couple of minutes to disperse. When it did, I lowered myself down. I sneaked my way into the room.

Cyprus was asleep on the bed. Jones was still tied up in the last spot where I last saw him. I went over to him and shook him. He opened his eyes. I quickly put my hand over his mouth to stay quiet.

I cut the bands that held him to the chair. He got up and massaged his wrists.

"Follow me." I whispered.

We made our way back into the kitchen and out the door. I threw up my hair. Jones started climbing.

Just then, the clouds moved. The moon shone down on us.

"Crap, there goes my cover."

I managed to get to the top of the castle wall when I heard someone yell.

"Hey you, stop!"

I looked to see Cyprus's guard coming after us. I whistled.

Max came running over.

"Harold, jump down."

Jones jumped off the wall and onto Max.

I went to jump when I felt some ropes wrap around me. I tried to grab my dagger, but the rope was too tight.

"Max, go!"

Just then I was pulled off the wall and fell back into the courtyard.

"Well, what have we here?"

I turned around to see Cyprus and Ryker.

"What are we going to do with her?" Ryker asked Cyprus

"Put her in the dungeon. And prepare for an attack."

...

Hiccup's POV

The next morning, we prepared for battle. Rapunzel left last night to rescue Jones. After they got back, we'd march to Arendelle and free it from Cyprus.

Merida came over to me as I made some adjustments to Toothless's saddle.

"Have you seen Rapunzel?" She asked.

"No, but she'll be back with Jones soon."

"That's the thing. Jones rode up on that horse Rapunzel took last night."

I stopped what I was doing and followed Merida to Jones.

"Jones!"

He looked at me with sadness in his eyes.

"I'm sorry. There was nothing I could do. She's been captured."

I nodded. I then walked to the middle of the camp.

"Everyone. Grab your weapons! We attack now."

The Great Battle to free Arendelle is beginning.
