Hi! It's time for an "EPIC FIGHT SCENE!" NOT REALLY!

WE WILL HAVE A HICCUP AND TOOTHLESS SOAP OPERA CHAPTER SOON, SO STAY TUNED!

By the way, I'M SO FRICKING SORRY THAT I FORGOT ABOUT YOU ALL! THIS STORY IS THE LIFE AND SOUL OF ME, WELL, BESIDES MY OTHER FANFICTION AND THINGS THAT I PERSONALLY LIKE! School has been a really big meanie to me, so I'm really sorry I couldn't get to this! Forgive me!

Honestly, the loss against the female Avatar and the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe angered him very much. Not only was he a shame to his family, but he lost to a woman and a skinny man! There had to be some way to redeem himself… Hiccup speared a hand through his hair and fingered the feathers in his hair. What could he do…? Where was the Avatar headed next? He couldn't pay attention to anyone on the ship, his gears in his mind reeling. Toothless kept on pestering him for attention, but Hiccup had ignored him. The Prince didn't know why Toothless was being so clingy, and he was getting quite irritated. Today was especially irritating.

The barge was close to arriving at the Southern Water Tribe, the place Hiccup thought that the Avatar and the Southern Water Tribe Chief were currently crashing at. Toothless skipped around on the top deck, chasing his tail excitedly.

Hiccup sighed. "Toothless, can you just calm down for a second? Go find Uncle and bother him."

The dragon whimpered and instead of leaving, he crept closer to Hiccup.

"Toothless!"

The dragon shrunk backward in fear, Hiccup's strict voice scaring him just a bit.

Hiccup didn't know what he was going to do when the barge arrived at the Southern Water Tribe. Attack head on? Wait and get attacked instead? Pass through without saying anything? Wear disguises? It was all too hard for him to plan out. He heard Uncle's loud snorts and heavy grunts as he took his morning walk around the castle.

"What is it this time, Uncle?" Hiccup shoved his face closer to his planning scrolls.

"I couldn't help but hear you worry over plan today…" His uncle's heavy accent laced through his sentences.

"Well, I just can't figure anything out! I just need peace and quiet! I need to be alone!" Hiccup yelled through the yellowing scroll paper, his eyebrows scrunched in tried concentration.

North chuckled to himself silently, tugging on Toothless' neck. "Come on, дракон, we must give Hiccup some time of his own." The dragon followed sadly, looking back at Hiccup with large green eyes.

Hiccup silently thanked his Uncle, unable to see the last glance his dragon gave him. Lights began to dance in his eyes as ice reflected rainbows onto his apricot face. He growled in frustration and threw a flame into the water, ignoring the smoke. Hiccup focused all of his mind into his map, trying hard to ignore the flickers of brightness in his eyes.

"What would a true Fire Nation Prince do...?" Hiccup stared ruefully at his reflection in the sky waters, remembering the short years he had as being Prince of the Fire Nation.

The Prince of the Fire Nation wouldn't wait to be attacked. He would have the true skill of a warrior. He would attack head on, avoiding obstacles and pushing away the enemy to get what he wanted. He wouldn't show mercy. He wouldn't cry over something silly like his past. He would be fierce, strong, and loyal to his Nation. Hiccup nodded to himself, finally deciding on a plan. This time...This time he wouldn't fail.

When the barge finally arrived in the Southern Water Tribe, Hiccup couldn't help but feel a growing sense of dread and bile rise up his chest. He couldn't fail. He equipped himself with armor, two swords, and Toothless. The dragon trembled with anticipation at the feeling of having to visit the enemy again. This time...this time they would return triumphant, no longer the outcasts and shame of the Fire Nation. North patted Toothless' head, giving Hiccup a gentle look.

"You can do it, Hiccup. Remember to attack careful, and defend strong. Fundamentals, nephew." North's foreign accent laced through his words thickly.

Hiccup kept a straight face, not giving a glance towards his uncle. "I know. I'm ready to take the Avatar and make Mother proud."

North scratched at his beard with concern. "I'm not sure if this is what your Mother would've wanted..." He whispered this softly, quiet enough that Hiccup and Toothless couldn't hear.

Toothless flew off the deck, with the help of Hiccup. They landed in front of several guardsmen, each armed with spears. Hiccup unsheathed both his swords, lighting them on fire with his bending. The flames licked at the metal as if it were covered in thick oil, engulfing the whole blade in a blaze of orange and crimson. He sliced the spears in half, pointing the tip of the blade near a guardsman's neck, the flames barely grazing his cheek.

"Show me to the Avatar." Hiccup's voice had a dangerous edge to it, his smile a little too menacing.

The guardsmen nodded quickly and ran off, each going in different directions. Today was the day. The day he returned with everything.

"Chief Jackson! There is an intruder barge at the entrance of the tribe! A firebender and his dragon! They want to see the Avatar!" A guardsman, Kai, had run into the Chief's tent, a panicked expression painted on his features and a thin burn on his cheek.

Jack had just finished his perimeter walk a few hours ago, and was now resting with Flynn, Elsa, and Anna. A frown graced his features. "Them again?!" He stood up angrily and started to storm out the tent.

Elsa placed a firm gloved hand on his shoulder. "Jack, compose yourself. We need to think this through. If it is the Firebending Prince and his lizard, we want to make sure we have a strategy before attacking. I want to make sure that he doesn't destroy much of your tribe. I will go."

Anna and Flynn were up on their feet now. "No, Elsa! That mean prince might blast you with his firepowers! Or worse, his dragon could chomp you to shreds!" Anna's imagination went wild.

"Tch, calm it Little Red Riding Hood. I say we take the easy way out: Escape from the back while we're still safe from Mr. Firebreath. C'mon Jack, let's go." Flynn tugged on Jack's arm.

Jack shooed his arm away. "Wait guys. Elsa, I won't let you just risk yourself. Not alone. Flynn, we're not going to put the tribe at risk. Our people is our responsibility. We have to figure out a way to get this Prince out of our territory and running back to the volcano pit he belongs in."

They put together a plan, each person contributing somehow. They left the tent, each person going separate ways.

"You wanted to see me?"

Hiccup scowled. "You're not the Avatar."

"I'm not the Avatar."

The Fire Prince's scowl furrowed deeper. "I want to see the Avatar! Where is she? Is she a cowardly princess?"

Jack's neutral face twitched, his lips curving downward into a small frown. "She's not a coward. If you want to fight her, you're going to have to fight me. I'm afraid that you won't be getting anywhere near her today."

Hiccup grinned. "Fair enough. This will be easy." He dismounted off of Toothless, ushering him away.

Jack clutched his staff tightly, feeling the water currents near him tug at his hands, a rush of adrenaline shooting up his hands and to the tip of his staff. Hiccup had his firey swords out, the flames increasing in size, the temperature around him feeling like the intense heat of the summer. Jack felt the water answer to his beckoning arm, the liquid swirling around him like a serpent. Hiccup took the first move, stabbing directly into Jack's abdomen. Luckily, Jack dodged the attack easily, using the water to wipe out the flames on one of his swords. Hiccup scowled, the metal of the sword throughly soaked, so much so that he couldn't light the metal. Jack took this chance to whip Hiccup's knuckles with his water coil, the smooth liquid freezing into ice at the tip. The sharp ice carved into Hiccup's skin on his hands, and he yelped in pain.

"Aren't you going to try harder than that?" Jack teased, a wide smile planted on his face.

Hiccup growled. "I'm just taking it easy on you, peasant." He dropped the dripping sword to the ground and lit his hands aflame.

Jack dropped his staff and morphed the water on his arms into a series of small droplets, moving them to his hands. He changed his footing into a defensive position, running a free hand through his slightly damp hair. Hiccup sent a blast of fire out of his palms, the dragon breath grazing the cloth of Jack's tunic. The waterbender laughed and froze the droplets floating above his palm, sending them shooting towards Hiccup. The ice shards scraped at the skin of Hiccup's cheekbones, the slightest evidence of dripping blood visible. Jack dodged Hiccup's fire kick, leaping away from the flames and curving his lithe body in stances and positions that avoided the flames and punches. In the middle of all this, Jack had concentrated on the blood that was slipping off of Hiccup's helmet, feeling the ruby river draw towards him. Hiccup gasped as the blood leaking from his cut was drawn away from him, his own blood being controlled by the simple Chief. Jack stifled a gasp as he saw the Fire Prince's blood being manipulated by his own hands. It felt wrong to him, seeing how his fingers separated the blood droplets above his palms. He stiffened his fingers and the blood thickened and congealed, hardening into frozen coppery globules. Out of the corner of his eye, he also saw the "blood donor" still too. Time slowed, and Jack didn't know what to do. He loosened his fingers, slowly lowering his hands to his sides, but the frozen blood droplets circled him instead. They seemed to glow as they neared his body.

Then, the Fire Prince's blood struck him.

The frozen droplets carved upwards against his skin, stopping right above his lungs before melting away and dripping back into the ground. Hiccup almost felt bad for the Chief, almost. Jack shuddered as pain coursed through his being, his own blood dripping from his wounds. His tunic was ruined, his fingers tracing the length of the cuts in his skin, leaving a trail of sticky blood. The ruby substance poured out of his wounds in streams, the cuts deeper than Jack perceived. He saw bright lights attack his vision, and he struggled to stay upright, falling. Hiccup had stopped attacking, he didn't know why. The enemy was vulnerable, he could've just ended him so easily. But his body refused to. Suddenly, a girl in red pigtails came running towards the Chief with a frying-pan-wielding man close in tow. They crouched over Jack, using the remains of his tunic to try and stop the bleeding. The Avatar stepped out from behind a tent, and Hiccup backed away slightly. She glared at him with stormy eyes and gathered up as much water as she could muster. A collasal sphere of water rose above her head, her eyes challenging Hiccup to take another step closer. Hiccup continued to retreat, knowing that he had lost again. Elsa let her control on the sphere of water loosen, and her wrists bent forward, sending the water rushing towards the barge and Prince. The Fire Nation ship went sailing, skipping like a pebble against water.

Hiccup shut himself up in his room, closing off from the rest of the crew and Toothless.

Elsa found herself panicking.

Her blood pumped in her body at a quicker pace, her stomach churning in sickening movements. Jack's middle was nearly covered in blood, so she found it surprising that he was holding up okay. Jack opened his eyes weakly and smiled brightly at Elsa.

"You did it, Elsie...You got that barge out of here..." He choked on a few of his words, his eyes at half-mast.

Elsa grinned sheepishly. "Thanks, but you did all the work. Let me just take care of your wounds."

Jack cringed in pain, writhing around as the effect of blood loss started to overwhelm him. Elsa placed her water covered hands on the wounded area, ignoring how her fingers seemed to stick on the bloody surface of his skin. Her hands began to glow and it seemed like she could feel every wound that Jack had. She felt her insides burn as the glowing intensified, and then faded off. Jack moaned in pain as the healing session was finished, the throbbing panging at his abdomen in harsh waves. He murmured a small 'thank you' before passing out, his hand resting on Elsa's ankle. The blood had dried in a dark brown crust on his tunic, the shreds of fabric wrinkled severely and stained. Anna and Flynn took Jack's arms and legs and carried him back to his tent.

Elsa stared at her blood-stained hands for what seemed like hours. She had saved someone that she cared about. She had used her bending for good, but she let Jack beat the Prince on his own. Elsa had almost lost Jack...

"I will never let you fight alone again," Elsa whispered to her palms, and she left the words to mingle with the air as she went back to her tent to wash up.

DUN DUN DUNNNNN IT IS FINISHED! I THINK THIS IS A NICE WELCOME BACK CHAPTER, DON'T YOU? So, here's the whole summary shamazz about this chapter in case you're confused. I'll have a summary for most of these chapters, so be sure to read the A/N!

Anyway, Jack is able to both waterbend and surprisingly, bloodbend. He can only bloodbend to an extent, and he won't be very good at it. The thing is, Hiccup's blood is a Firebender's blood. With this in mind, when Jack bloodbended, Hiccup's blood fought back. It's strange, yes, but hear me out. Hiccup is against Jack and Elsa, with all of his soul and heart. This means that his whole physical being is also against them. When Jack bloodbended Hiccup's blood, it fought back against Jack's control and struck him. I don't think ATLA has covered the physical liquid being bended yet, only the blood that is still in the body. No, Jack cannot control people with his bloodbending, he can only control the blood.

I hope this helps somewhat, so...yeah. Creepy chapter? Exciting? Please review and remember to ask any awesome questions! AIR HUGS!
