Hiccup, Heather and Agnar had landed in the shallow part of the water and were making their way to dry land. The villains were still trapped in the spheres that Agnar had tossed and were now crammed into one another.

Agnar laughed. "They won't be going anywhere for quite some time."

Hiccup was a holographic screen on his gauntlet. "I was afraid of this, that plasma blast drained about 20% of my power."

"What you mean?" Heather asked.

"My armour doesn't run continuously a built-in power supply," Hiccup explained. "That's why my jets cut out while midair, it was a way to preserve power. I'm going to have to fixed this issue of we have a get out of this mess."

"Shouldn't we be more concentrated on our next move?" Heather asked.

"You're right," Hiccup nodded. "Getting help should be our top priority, if we follow the shot to the exit then we can avoid the central Plaza entirely."

"Sounds like a plan," said Heather as she turned and looked at the Plaza. "That way we don't run into the villains that Mr Eret is facing off over there."

They could see dust soaring into the air no doubt where Eret was battling at that very moment.

Hiccup frowned. 'Yeah, but can he handle them on his own? How long can you hold out against the group like that.'

He then looked at the others. "If he doesn't get any backup then he's going to overexert himself, he'll end up be defeated by those villains because he was trying to keep us safe."

Agnar quivered as he looked at him. "Wait, don't tell me you're suggesting…" Hiccup remained quiet. "Are you trying to get us killed or something?"

"I'm not saying we should jump in the middle of the battle, but maybe we can to find a way to take a few of those guys out to lighten his load."

They had their first real fight against villains and they won, but that only gave them false hope. It made them think their powers could actually work against the enemy and they would soon learn just how wrong they were.

In a landslide zone, Ranger was completely surrounded by villains he had frozen in place and he was now beginning to question.

"You were woefully unprepared," he said looking at them all. "In fact it looks to me as if you had no training. You don't have the slightest idea on how to use your powers."

One of the villains looked at him fearfully. "This power… he froze us the instant we warped here."

"He's not a kid, he's a monster."

"So cold."

Ranger managed to overhear the ringleader speaking to his allies. 'How do they plan to kill Skullcrusher? At first I thought they garret a force of elite criminals who could simply overpower him.'

Then a villain with a knife jumped out of nowhere and pounced on him. Unfortunately Ranger merely moved his foot into an ice immediately covered the villain before he got anywhere close to him. A second had appeared at the same time will pull in his hand, but he got frozen just like his friends and Ranger caught the pole before it struck him.

'But that can't possibly be their master plan,' said Ranger to himself. 'Most of these villains are low-level thugs, just pawns.' He then removed the pole from the villain and he collapsed to the ground in a crumpled heap. 'From what I can tell there are only four or five truly dangerous people here. If that's the case then what we need right now is more information.'

He then turned to the villains he had frozen in place. "Listen well, if you stay frozen yourselves will slowly die as your body succumbs to frostbite and hypothermia. Luckily for you I want to be a hero so I would like to avoid unnecessary cruelty." He then turned the villain that attacked him with a knife and extended his hand towards his face. "But I only do that if you tell me how you plan to win kill Skullcrusher. That's the only way you will survive."

In the mountain zone Astrid, Ingrid and Clueless were busy facing against their foes and already one of them was making a move against Clueless, who immediately panicked.

He quickly ran to in order to avoid the punch from the massive villain. "These dudes are terrifying, my whole life just flashed before my eyes."

Ingrid had just blocked an attack from a villain with the sword Astrid had created for her. Astrid herself managed to knock away a villain with her battleaxe.

"Could you maybe take it down a few notches?" Ingrid asked.

"Right now we need to focus on getting away from these enemies," said Astrid noticing the villains that was slowing surrounding.

"Then pull out a weapon for me too," said Clueless.

"You're the one with electrical powers just zap them so that we can run," said Ingrid.

Clueless glared at her. "Weren't you paying attention during combat training? Some partner you were. I cover my body with electricity, but if I try and shoot it out it will go everywhere I would take you guys down along with them. I can't even call the help, because this duel into fear and jamming the signal. I'm counting on you two, I'm no help in this situation. You've gotta get out of here."

Ingrid shook her head. "You're a real damsel in distress aren't you?"

Clueless then quickly moved to avoid the fist of the villain chasing after him. However, Ingrid then immediately kicked him in the back sending him forwards.

"Now you're human stungun," she said.

"Seriously?" he yelled.

He then slammed into the villain and immediately created an electrical field shocking the guy.

"Whoa, this is working," he said surprised. "I'm super strong." He then gave the thumbs up to Astrid and Ingrid. "Sit back you do you can count on me."

"You are exhausting?" Ingrid groaned.

Then immediately a villain stretched his fist towards Clueless with it embedded in rock. "Try executing solid rock kid."

Ingrid immediately jacked her earphones into the sub woofers in her boots. Immediately she fired an amplified sound of a heartbeat at the villain. The sonic attack immediately shattered the rock and the moment it made contact with Clueless he was immediately shocked.

Another villain with a pair of knives and tried to jump over them only for Astrid to for saying that she had created from her hands. The net in snared the villain and he collided with the other two villains earning him an electrical shock from Clueless' attack.

"We're lucky that worked out so well," said Astrid.

"I'm sorry, next time I will ask before saving our butts," said Ingrid hotly.

The three villains that had got caught in Clueless' electrical field were now unconscious and collapsed to the ground. Ingrid and immediately unleashed another sonic attack this time at the villains themselves causing them to cover the ears to protect themselves from the attack.

"Damn it, Clueless. You couldn't have asked for some kind of aiming gear when you put in your costumes request form, I mean come on," said Ingrid annoyed.

A villain then tried to attack her from behind, but she was able to dodge the attack. Astrid then came out of nowhere and kicked the villain away with a powerful jump kick.

"It's ready," she said as she closed her eyes. "It takes me a little longer…" She then extended her hand upwards and immediately formed a blanket which covered both her and Ingrid, "this big."

The villains were confused by this move.

"A blanket?"

"Is it supposed to be a shield?"

Astrid smirked she looked the villains. "You're looking at a sheet of installation 100 mm thick. Go, Clueless."

Clueless smirked as electricity began to flow around his body. "Thanks Astrid. Now I don't have to worry about hurting my friends!" He then unleashed a massive amount of electricity across the ground which struck every single villain. "You guys are fried!"

The villains were now completely smouldered from the attack and collapsed.

Astrid then removed the blanket over herself and Ingrid.

"Now then, I'm worried about the rest of our class," she said.

Ingrid looked at her. "I'm sure they're all right."

"Still I would prefer if we find them as soon as possible," said Astrid. She then turned and looked at Clueless. "Though looking for trouble might be problematic."

Clueless now had a dumb look on his face and could barely form a sentence. While he was powerful yet one major weakness, if he produced more energy then you are capable of it shut down his brain.

There were so focused on Clueless but they did notice a hand protruding from the ground behind them.

Hiccup and his group were still at the shoreline of the shipwreck zone, though Agnar wasn't too happy about the idea.

"Remember Hiccup, we're just here to see how things are going," Agnar reminded.

"I know," said Hiccup as he began looking over the edge. "We'll get out of here as soon as it gets dangerous."

They were now watching as Eret had taken out of most of the villains in the Plaza, though he was still fighting. He soon jumped over a couple of villains immediately wrapped his scarf around them and then with one good pull he was sent flying down towards them and kick some hard into the ground.

Eret was completely exhausted after fighting so many villains and there were still plenty of them around. Then he saw the hooded figure rushing towards him and behind him was the armoured man who appears to have observed everything.

"First it was 23 seconds," said the armoured man, talking to the hooded man by radio.

"Final boss," said Eret and fired his staff directly at the hooded figure.

"Then it was 24 seconds." The hooded man then grabbed hold the scarf and Eret came charging towards him. "Then 20. Then 17."

Eret then grabbed the helm of his scarf and used it to push the hooded man towards him and dealt a powerful elbow into his chest. However, the hooded man had managed to capture the elbow and Eret was forced to blink.

The armoured man then chuckled. "I've been observing you the moment that you first engaged our forces. I took perfect note on when you attack, who you attack and when they were able to use their powers. So I am perfectly able to anticipate when you are unable to use your powers."

"Now that you are unable to stop my powers, you're going to learn it facing me was a mistake," said the hooded man. "You're forced to blink more often, you really shouldn't push yourself too hard because now you're falling apart."

Suddenly Eret's slowly began to disintegrate as he winced in pain as the same thing was happening to his skin. Hiccup and the others gasped as they saw the sleeve disintegrating and witnessed Eret's skin disintegrating as well revealing his muscle tissue.

Eret was able to reuse his powers and quickly struck the hooded man and then quickly backed away. He soon discovered that he was unable to move his right arm, it was just too badly damaged.

'He destroyed my elbow,' he cursed.

To make things worse there were still countless of villains that taken down yet and they were taking advantage of his injury. He quickly dodged a villain that tried to attack from behind and then dealt a powerful kick, he then dodged yet a second and then a third and then found himself completely surrounded.

Eret was getting worn out as he had overtaxed his powers and both the hooded and armoured man were looking at him with smirks.

"That power of yours is annoying, but it isn't suited for drawnout fights against big groups," said the armoured man.

"Face it Tapster you're out of your element," said the hooded man as he got to his feet. "The truth is you're more suited to attacking stealthily, you're known for surprise attacks not fighting head-to-head."

The armoured man then smiled. "Though despite knowing that you didn't hesitate in jumping into the middle of this fight. To put your student at ease."

Eret they quickly dodged the sharp claws of a villain and immediately wrapped his scarf around him. He then quickly use him as a shield to block the weapon of another villain and then while he was temporarily blinded struck him with a powerful shoulder. He then performed a spinning kick kicking a bit and then tried to attack from behind and then he turned to both the hooded and armoured men before him.

"I admit it's quite impressive that you're still standing," said the armoured man. "And as such I think you are deserving to know my name. I am Viggo Grimborn and my partner here is known as Krogan."

Krogan scoffed. "I'm your superior."

Viggo narrowed his eyes. "And I'm supposed to be your adviser and yet you fail to listen to me."

Krogan gasped and looked at Eret. "Truth is you should be worrying about the two of us, it's the guy behind you."

Eret quickly turned and saw the large muscular man from earlier. It was hard to describe, but if he had to say that he resembled a dragon with six eyes.

"I mean he is after all the final boss," Krogan continued with a smirk.

Then the muscular man struck him and began pounding his face into the ground causing his goggles to fly off somewhere. Hiccup and the others could only just staring in horror as they saw their teacher being beaten to a pulp.

At the entrance, Black Hole was still trying to absorb Ryker into her vortex, but strangely he didn't seem concerned by this at all.

"Ah, so this is the power that is able to suck in mass and turns it into dust," said Ryker calmly. "Such an astounding power. However, you're a rescue hero, Black Hole. You're skilled at saving people from disasters and consequently that means you have very little fighting experience or battlefield awareness."

Ryker then immediately conjured up a warp gated directly in front of the vortex. It then reappeared directly behind Black Hole and her vortex was still in work. Immediately she felt her back been torn apart and the rest of the students just stared in horror.

"He opened a warp gate," she winced.

Ryker smirked from behind the mist. "How unfortunate, you turned yourself into dust."

Immediately the back of Black Hole's costume began to rip apart. She quickly cancelled her powers, but the damage had already been done and she began to collapse forwards.

"I'm sorry, he got me," she groaned just before she hit the floor.

"Black Hole!" Fishlegs cried.

Calder looked at Speedfist. "Speedfist, get out of here! Go, now!"

Speedfist had been stunned by fear and realise that he was right, this was his best opportunity to escape and to get help. Though he did not like the idea of leaving his friends behind, but he didn't they would probably be all dead.

He immediately zoomed off and headed straight towards the exit passing the villain as quickly as he could.

Ryker turned and looked at him. "A sheep trying to escape from the wolves. I simply can't allow that." Immediately a warp gate appear directly in front of Speedfist and he was going too fast to stop. "If other heroes arrive it would be harder for us to end Skullcrusher."

Speedfist really believe that this was going to be the end of him. However, appearing out of nowhere, was Magnus and he immediately wrapped his arms around the warp gate.

"Run! I've got him!" he winced in pain.

Speedfist then immediately accelerated once again. 'I'll be back in a flash.'

Ryker was now extremely annoyed. "You impertinent child!" He then immediately stretched his body towards Speedfistand Fishlegs notice the metal brace around the mist. "You won't step foot outside the doors."

'I'm close,' said Speedfist to himself knowing that Ryker was bearing down on top of him. 'But what if it's locked? Will I be able to pry open in time?'

"I have no time, for this," said Ryker who was now practically on top of him. "Be gone!"

Speedfist closed his eyes at the mist surrounded him.

It was on that day that all of them realised the dangers that the pros faced. They had gotten the first look, but the worst was yet to come.

Krogan and Viggo were now looking at the blooding mess that was Eret. He was still being pinned down by the monstrous man, whose strength was completely overwhelming.

"What do you think of Trapster," said Krogan mockingly. "He is a bioengineered anti-Symbol of Peace. But you can call him Red Death."

In the collapse zone, Ragnar and Snotlout were battling the villains in one of the ruined buildings. Snotlout in particular was going all out on their opponents, showing off both his superstrength and his flames.

"Say goodbye!" he yelled as he struck two buildings with a fist covered in flames.

Ragnar was currently battling a foe with the sword in his wood form and was able to block the blade before dealing a powerful punch at the villains face. The two of them were worn out from all this fighting, but it appeared they had taken out the last of the villains.

"Think that's the last of them," said Snotlout. "What a bunch of weaklings."

Ragnar looked at him as he returned to his normal form. "Then we better go and find the rest of our class. If we're both still in the B.A.R.F then everyone else probably is too. And not all of them have the offensive skills like you and me."

Ragnar narrowed his eyes. "You know it's your fault that we got separated from the others. If you and Dogsbreath hasn't jumped in front of Black Hole, if you were in the way and she probably would have been able to suck up than villain then we would never have been separated."

"You do what you want, I want to decimate that mist guy," said Snotlout dismissively.

Ragnar stared at him. "I knew forgetting the fact that he was totally immune to your physical attacks?"

"Shut up," Snotlout snapped. "If we take that guy down then we take out their way in and out. If we cut off their escape route will be stuck in have to pay for what they've done. We'll just have to figure it out."

Unbeknownst to them a villain with chameleon-like powers was directly behind them. He immediately jumped and drew a knife from his belt.

'I hope you had fun chitchatting, too bad you let your guard down,' he smirked.

However, Snotlout immediately grabbed him and slammed him into the ground and knocking him out cold.

"Anyway all these villains are small fries like these were then our classmates can handle them," said Snotlout.

Ragnar folded his arms. "Maybe, but they must have a few powerhouses among them or why else would they think they can take on Skullcrusher. They were organised enough to attack us here and arrange the distraction with the media."

"All the more reason we take them down fast," said Snotlout. He then walked off. "Go and find the others if you want too."

Ragnar raised an eyebrow. "If I did know better I'd say that you're praising our classmates and that includes Hiccup."

Snotlout merely narrowed his eyes.

The other students were still battling against the villains in their designated areas. Olaf and Sven were taking on the villains in the fire zone, using hit-and-run attacks.

"Dammit, they're too fast," said one of the villains.

They then tried to separate in order to hunt them down only for one of them to be knocked to the ground by Sven, who was clinging on the telephone lines with his tail. Olaf was causing his own bit of mayhem by attacking them from afar with his navel laser.

In the squall zone, Wartihog was leading a group of villains down an alleyway.

"We found you," said one of them.

They immediately jumped at him only to be struck in the face by the stone fist of Dogsbreath.

"That six of them," said Dogsbreath flexing his muscles. "We're reducing their numbers, but very slowly. I hope it works in the long run."

Speedfist was still making his way towards the door with Ryker literally on top of him. However, Fishlegs then immediately grabbed the metal brace around his neck and remove the gravity from it. Ryker then suddenly found himself floating away from Speedfist much to his surprise and Speedfist's.

"I don't know what his power is, but he's wearing some kind of weird armour," said Fishlegs. "So he must still have a physical body." He then immediately tossed Ryker into the air with all his strength. "Now, run Speedfist!"

"You pest! How dare you!" Ryker roared.

Speedfist had managed to reach the door and was now trying to pry it open, but Ryker was gonna make things easy for him. He immediately stretched his body towards Speedfist as quickly as he could.

"I've got you now!" he yelled.

"Not so fast," said Tuffntu and quickly fired a piece of slime which attached itself to the next place of his body.

Calder then grabbed the solid slime from Tuffnut's palm and then began to spin the villain around with all his might. He then tossed him as far as he could throw him towards the other side of the complex.

Speedfist finally managed to pry the door's open and immediately rushed out he then accelerated making his way to the campus as quickly as he could knowing that lives were at stake.

Ryker could only watch as he floated away. "He's going to call for backup, it's over."

Red Death was squeezing Eret's damaged elbow with a lot of strength with one hand and broke it.

"You can raise people's powers, it is an impressive ability, but when facing against two devastating power it in the new sensibility," said Krogan.

Eret winced as he looked up at Red Death and try to neutralise his powers. Only for the big group to slam his other hand right on top of his other arm breaking that one as well.

'He's breaking my bones like they're twigs,' he said to himself fighting against the pain. 'I'm positive I erased his power, that means he's superstrong even without the powers.' Red Death then grabbed his head and raised it up. 'I think he's a strong as Skullcrusher.'

Then he slammed his head down to the ground cracking the concrete.

Hiccup and the others could only watch as they witnessed this brutality.

"Oh no," Agnar whimpered. "I can't even watch this anymore. We should be getting out of his super-fast, should we?"

Hiccup and Heather didn't say a word they were just staring in shock.

Then suddenly appearing next to Krogan and Viggo was Ryker, who apparently had managed to regain his gravity from Fishlegs. He soon took on his physical form looking annoyed at the two of them.

"Krogan. Viggo," he said.

Viggo looked at Ryker. "Brother, did you manage to kill Black Hole."

"The rescue hero is out of commission, but there were students I was unable to disburse and one of them got outside the facility," said Ryker clenching his fist in anger.

Krogan stared him. "What?"

Viggo looked intrigued. "It would seem as if the students have been trained very well."

Krogan snarled at him. "Reverence is a dangerous emotion, Viggo."

"Only if you allow it to be," said Viggo calmly. "We should be prepared for reinforcements to arrive very soon."

Krogan clenched his fists and glared at Ryker. "If you weren't are means of escape I would kill you right now. There is no way we can win it dozens of pros show up to stop us. Let's go home."

Agnar looked up. "Did I hear that right? Did he say they were just going to leave?"

"That's what it sounded like me," Heather frowned.

Agnar smiled and then hugged Heather enthusiastically. "That's amazing, we're is safe and we don't have to fight."

Heather was looking a bit uncomfortable as Agnar was squeezing her left boob. She then promptly ducked his head into the water and looked at Hiccup.

"I have a real bad feeling about this Hiccup," she said.

Hiccup nodded in agreement. "It does seem weird that they would retreat to this point even if help is on the way." It certainly didn't make any sense in the slightest. 'Dad is most likely coming and they don't want to kill him now? They must know that BA will beef up security after this so now as their best chance. What's going on here? Why are they on the verge of retreat now?'

Krogan then stood up straight. "Oh, before we leave…" He then turned towards them. "Let's make sure the Symbol of Peace is broken. Let's wreak pride."

They realised too late that Krogan knew they were watching and immediately dashed towards them. Hiccup was about to act unfortunately he suddenly discovered that he was unable to move his body and then found himself floating in the air.

His eyes then turned to Viggo and saw that his eyes were glowing green and it was extending his arm.

"That's very nice you're wearing," he smirked and clenched his fist. Hiccup then roared in pain as he felt his armour pressing itself against him. "Shame that it's totally useless in my presence."

Hiccup's eyes widened. 'He's the technopath and his powerful.'

Krogan then quickly collated hand right on top of Heather before she had a chance to knock it aside. Hiccup mind flashed to the disintegration of Eret's arm and use the same thing was about to happen to Heather only that it was going to kill her instead.

However when he placed his hand over Heather nothing happened and Hiccup suddenly found himself crashing to the ground now able to move again.

Krogan appeared to be taken aback until he turned his head. "I see you still got a bit of fight left in you," he said looking at Eret.

Eret had managed to regain consciousness and was using all his power to neutralise both Krogan and Viggo's powers. Red Death then slammed his head into the ground utilising his power.

Viggo then attempted to control Hiccup's armour again, but this time Hiccup was more than prepared. His eyes then began to glow green as he used his power to cancel Viggo's control and knew that he had to take Krogan out right now.

'I've got no choice, I have to use a plasma blast one more time,' he said as he began to form a plasma orb within his palms. 'I have to say that Heather and get out of here right now.'

He then turned his attention upon Krogan. "Let her go!" he yelled gaining Krogan's attention. "Take this!"

Hiccup then fired his plasma blast directly at Krogan and seconds later there was a huge explosion. The explosion caused a massive shock wave that knocked several villains to the ground and shattered the lights around the facility.

Hiccup was unable to see Krogan because of the smoke but he was very certain that he had struck him. However, when the smoke cleared it turned out that Red Death had blocked the attack with his body.

'Where did he come from?' Hiccup gasped. He then realised that there was even a single scratch on him. 'Wait, there isn't a scratch on him. That attack passed the same powers one of my dad's punches.' His eyes then widened as he remember what Heather had said on the ship moments ago. 'Oh, no.'

Viggo looked at Hiccup slightly impressed. "So you're the technopath that's been preventing me from gaining full control the systems here. So we would seem as if the rumours were right after all, Technora's son is indeed involved in this Academy."

"It doesn't matter, I'm done with you now" said Krogan.

Red Death then immediately grabbed his arm and raised his other preparing to strike Hiccup. Heather quickly knocked Krogan's hand away and by the massive tornado at Red Death and Hiccup fired one of his cable that Krogan at the same time. Krogan was now reaching towards both Heather and Agnar and there is no way that Eret could neutralise their powers this time.

They were all seconds away from death when suddenly there was a huge explosion and the entrance doors were blown apart. That caught everyone's attention and they saw walking through the doorway was none other than Skullcrusher.

Fishlegs and the others were completely psyched as this was the first time he had seen him in person.

"You made a mistake coming here villains," said Skullcrusher glaring down at them. "Because now that I'm here you'll all be eating dirt."

Agnar began to cry. "We're saved."

Hiccup just stared at his father. "He's here."

Krogan smiled as he turned his attention onto Skullcrusher. "Ah, the guest of honour has finally arrived."
