Hiccup was new to the situation, but he was very quick to take on his surroundings. He knew that it was a race against time to free Toothless and the others before they suffocated by the wax dust. He also knew that the wax must've appeared from one of the new adversarial in front of him, but he had no idea which one which left the other mystery.

Fishlegs noticed that Toothless had his arm stretched out with sword in hand. "Toothless, why are you standing like that?"

"If I'm going to be a statue, I prefer this pose," Toothless shrugged.

"This is no time to be playing around!" Vivi snapped.

"Who said anything about playing?"

"I still can't believe that you intended as such cut your feet off," said Fishlegs in disbelief.

"I didn't have a lot of options," Toothless reminded.

"Yeah, but how did you plan to fight them without your feet?" Fishlegs asked questionably.

Vivi stared at the two of them. 'We're stuck here, about to be turning to wax statues and the two of them are bickering? They don't really seem to understand the danger of the situation at all.'

"Hey, Drake, is that all the fight you have left in you?" Brogy asked with a smile.

"Unfortunately I'm going have to let someone else take over," said Toothless regretfully.

"All right."

Miss Golden Week how decided that now was the best time to have a picnic and she looked at Mr 3. "They don't seem terribly worried about what's going to happen to them, Mr 3."

"And you don't seem terribly worried to make sure that it happens, Miss Golden Week," Mr 3 snarled. Though admittedly he was just a tad terrified by how calm everyone seemed to be. 'Solidify all ready.'

"If you wish to dine a cool pose, Fishlegs, you had better hurry up," Toothless advised.

"I have other things to worry about," said Fishlegs.

"Toothless, can't you take this a little more seriously?" Vivi asked.

"Your pose could use a little work to," Toothless added.

"Will you shut up about the posing already?" Fishlegs asked.

"Acting so carelessly for no other reason than to mock us," Mr 3 growled annoyance. "This is very annoying. They've been acting this way ever since he showed up." His eyes then lit up when he realised something. "Of course."

"I hope you're ready," said Hiccup.

"He doesn't seem all that impressive, if you ask me," said Mr 3.

"Mr 3," said Mr 5 as he stepped forward. "We would be happy to take care of that pest."

"Take care of him?" Mr 3 snorted. "Please, don't be ridiculous. I send you to take care of him once already and look, he's standing in front of us alive and well same with the blonde girl. Now that both of them are interfering with my artistic progress, I think it's clear that you can't handle him. He's obviously too much for you, wouldn't you agree?"

Mr 5 growled in annoyance.

Mr 3 then immediately took up a fighting stance. "You too can deal with the others, if you think you're up to it that is. I'll take care of the boy and girl, I think Dragon Conquest statue would make an excellent addition to my collection."

"I've had way enough of you," said Snotlout as he raised his fists. "And if you losers know what's good for you, you'll give up now."

"Is that right?" said Mr 3 not looking convinced.

Snotlout looked at the twins. "Let's go!"

"Right!" they yelled.

Then suddenly the three of them and Karoo immediately backed away and hid in the jungle.

"We've got your back from here!" Snotlout yelled to Hiccup and Astrid.

"Seriously?" Hiccup rolling his eyes.

"Forget about them," said Astrid shaking her head in disbelief.

"I've got you!" said Mr 3 as his arm turned to wax. "Candle Lock!"

Before Hiccup and Astrid had a chance to get out of the way they suddenly found their legs trapped in a wax restraint.

"Hiccup! Astrid!" Vivi cried.

"I can't believe they got caught already," said Toothless.

Hiccup looked to the restraint than back at Astrid. "Guess we should have been more observant."

"You think?" Astrid asked rising an eyebrow.

"Almost too simple," Mr 3 smiled. "All right, just once more." Once again his hand began to change into wax and this time he was going to restrain their arms.

Hiccup smiled. "This is all he's got?"

"Candle Lock!" Mr 3 yelled sitting another burst of wax towards them.

"Move!" Hiccup yelled to Astrid.

Quickly the two of them jumped out of the way just in time before to wax locks appeared.

Hiccup then suddenly transformed into his hybrid form and began flapping his wings as hard as he could.

"Now let's take care of this restraint," said Hiccup and immediately fired a plasma blast at his feet.

The sudden explosion caused the wax to crumble. He then quickly turned and did the same thing to Astrid demolishing her restraint as well.

"Impossible?" Mr 3 yelled.

Hiccup then quickly turned towards the wax pillar. "Now for that I saw. Plasma Blast!"

The plasma blast then struck the pillar smashing it to pieces.

"All right!" Fishlegs and Vivi cried.

Unfortunately, while Hiccup destroys the pillar the ornament on top was still very much intact and was pouring down onto the base. They were terrified for a brief moment, but fortunately it landed safely on the base and then continue to spin.

"I guess that plan backfired," said Hiccup rubbing the back of his head.

"Our situation hasn't seem to have improved," said Toothless.

"I can't move," said Fishlegs unable to move any part of his body. "What's happening? My body, it won't move."

Mr 3 laughed. "You fools all you did was move the candle much closer. And by doing so you only sped at the solidifying process, you'll become wax figures even sooner now. Well done!"

"I seriously want to punch that guy right in his smug little face," Snotlout growled.

"Hiccup, you need to destroy this thing and quickly!" Vivi pleaded.

"Don't worry, I'm on it," Hiccup assured.

"I don't think so, now get out of my way!" Mr 3 roared. "Wax-Wax Harpoon!"

"Iron Hammer!" Snotlout roared as he charged out of the jungle clenching his fist.

Mr 3 had been so busy focusing on Hiccup and Astrid that he failed to notice Snotlout charging towards him. However, Mr 5 quickly placed himself between the two of them and when Snotlout's face collides with his chest there was a huge explosion which sent him backwards.

Fortunately, Hiccup was able to fly out of the way to avoid the harpoon, but it was a close thing.

"So you're bright idea was to charge in with a punch, you really need to think outside the box more kid," said Mr 5.

Snotlout clenched his fist and looked up at him. "He must use the explosion to lessen the impact of my punch."

"This isn't really looking good for us," said Toothless.

"Hiccup, you have to hurry!" Vivi cried.

"I'm on it," said Hiccup as he took in a deep breath. "Plasma Blast!"

"It's no use, Candle Wall!" Mr 3 yelled unleashing a burst of wax from his arm.

Hiccup had justified his plasma blast when a wax wall shot up into the air and blocks the attack. However, no doubt due to the heat from the attack the wax quickly melted away, but it served its purpose by protecting the candle.

"You're really starting to annoy me, you know that right," said Hiccup narrowing his eyes at Mr 3.

"I was just thinking the same thing," said Mr 3. "I would greatly appreciate it if you quit interfering with my creative activities.

"Candle Lock!" Mr 3 yelled unleashing another burst of wax at Hiccup.

The wax was moving so quickly that there was no way for Hiccup to dodge it, but then Astrid appeared out of nowhere and shoved him out of the way. Unfortunately, the wax immediately encased her legs and Mr 3 used the wax to lift her off her feet and attached to the base of the giant candle.

"And never beautiful wax sculpture for my collection it would seem," Mr 3 smiled.

"Astrid!" Hiccup cried.

"Don't worry about me!" Astrid yelled. "You're the only one who can beat him!"

"Right," Hiccup nodded and immediately took in a deep breath. "Plasma Blast!"

"Oh, no, you don't," said Mr 3 raising his arms. "Candle Wall!"

Shooting out of the ground was yet another wall of wax. Hiccup then fired his plasma blast and it had the same exact result as the previous one. Mr 3 smirked, believing that his victory was guaranteed, but then shooting out of the smoke was a second plasma blast and it slammed right creating an explosion that sent him flying.

"M-Mr 3?" Mr 5 stared.

"No way," Miss Valentine stared.

"Nice going, Hiccup," Astrid smiled. "Now hurry up and break this thing before we become living figurines!"

Hiccup however just stood there with a blank expression. "No."

"Will you quit joking around and hurry?" Fishlegs pleaded.

"No way," said Hiccup.

"What's the matter with you? Hurry up and save us!" Toothless yelled furiously.

"Just do it, please," Vivi begged.

"Not now, I just don't feel like saving you," he said.

"What's wrong with him?" said Fishlegs looking utterly confused.

"My Colours Trap," said Miss Golden Week as she ate a cookie.

"What is she on about?" Astrid asked looking up at the others.

"Doesn't matter," said Toothless as he turned his attention back onto Hiccup. "Hiccup, this is no time to space out. Will you do something about this already?"

"I know," said Hiccup dryly.

"Then why are you just standing there?" Vivi demanded.

"Come on, Hiccup!" Fishlegs pleaded.

Hiccup just continue to stand there as if he was in some other world. "I know what I should do, but I just don't feel like it."

"Why do you keep on saying that?" Astrid yelled. "We're about to be turned into wax statues! We're going to die you know!"

"I know, but for some reason I just don't feel motivated," Hiccup yawned.

"What you mean you can't get motivated?" the four of them yelled.

"Uh, I'm completely lost," said Ruffnut as she looked to the others.

"Join the club," said Tuffnut.

"Well, if he doesn't do something in a hurry they're all going to die," said Snotlout. "Looks like it's up to us to snap him out of it."

However, before any of them could make a move they found themselves blocked by Mr 5 and Miss Valentine.

"Where did you to come from?" Snotlout cried in a panic.

"Just give up, your friend has already fallen into a nasty trap," said Mr 5.

"That's right, haven't you notice what he standing on?" Miss Valentine smiled.

"Standing?" Snotlout frowned.

They then looked at Hiccup's feet and found that he was standing on some sort of black marking on the grass.

"What's that?" Tuffnut frowned.

"Looks like some strange black pattern on the ground," said Ruffnut.

"What so important about that thing?" Snotlout demanded.

"You really don't get it at all," said Miss Valentine shaking her head and laughing.

"What's so funny?" Snotlout glared.

"Pain. That's what's funny," said Mr 5 as he pulled his hand out of his pocket. "It's just pain. You and your friends don't stand a chance of escaping now!"

Swung his foot towards them and Snotlout jumped at the way just in time. However, his foot did hit a tree and seconds later there was a huge explosion knocking him, the twins and Karoo backwards.

"I say we make a run for it!" Snotlout yelled to the twins.

"Yeah," they said and they quickly mounted Karoo.

"Oh, great, now the running away," Miss Valentine muttered.

"Let's get them," said Mr 5 and they quickly ran after them.

"Giddyup, Karoo!" Ruffnut yelled.

"Hi Ho, Karoo, away!" Tuffnut cried.

"Full spearhead!" Snotlout yelled.

Unfortunately, Snotlout had forgotten to mount Karoo, who was running as quickly as he could with the twins on his back.

"Hey, hold on, I'm not on yet!" Snotlout yelled running after them as quickly as he could.

Meanwhile Hiccup just continued standing there leaving Astrid and the others completely baffled.

Vivi finally understood what was going on as she noticed Miss Golden Week standing behind Hiccup. "Miss Golden Week's responsible." Miss Golden Week was standing there eating a cookie while she was holding a paintbrush and palette. "I know that this is your doing!"

"It's my Colours Trap: Betrayal Black," she said. "If you touch the paint you want to betray your friends, no matter what they might say. Even if they beg and plead for help."

"Huh, what is she talking about?" Fishlegs frowned. "I don't understand what's going on here."

"She's a painter, she uses her pain to create different emotions," Vivi explained. "Each colour is a feeling. Her sense of colour is so complete she can manipulate your mind, just a splash of one of her colours and you'll be under her control."

"Under her control?" Toothless stared.

"Certainly explains why Hiccup is acting so funny, but I would have for that it would have very little effect on someone with a strong will as his," said Astrid looking up at Vivi.

"I'm afraid no matter how strong someone sense of will is, ultimately there will be under her control," Vivi explained.

"So what you're saying is that all he needs to do is to get away from the paint?" Fishlegs concluded. He then immediately looked at Hiccup. "Hiccup, move away from their quickly!"

"No, don't!" Vivi cut across. "Hiccup, listen… Whatever you do, please don't step outside the black circle all right. I'm begging!"

Fishlegs stared at her. "What are you saying?"

Vivi ignored him. "We don't want you to save us, Hiccup. Please, stay away from us."

"No way," said Hiccup and immediately stepped out of the black symbol.

"I get it now," said Toothless. "We just need to say the exact opposite of what we wanted him to do."

"That was utterly weird," said Hiccup rubbing his forehead. "I don't know what came over me."

"Hiccup, help us now!" Vivi cried.

"I'm on it," said Hiccup as he took in a deep breath. Then suddenly he began bursting with laughter. "For some reason I just can't stop laughing now!"

"What happened?" Fishlegs stared.

"Isn't it obvious?" said Astrid.

Hiccup then turned around and they saw a yellow pattern on his shirt, created by Miss Golden Week.

"Colours Trap again. Laughter Yellow," she said pointing her paintbrush at him. "You really shouldn't have stepped out of the circle."

Hiccup was now on the ground pounding his fist on the ground laughing uncontrollably.

"Now it's on his clothing," said Fishlegs. "Hiccup, quick, take off your shirt!"

"I'd love to, really I would, but I just can't stop laughing!" Hiccup laughed.

"This is getting bad," said Toothless gravelly. "If the wax keeps on falling at this rate we'll be lucky to stay alive in five minutes."

Suddenly they saw Karoo rushing out of the jungle with Snotlout and the twins on his back, following close behind them were Mr 5 and Miss Valentine.

"If you guys are done playing tag, bad you can help us out!" Astrid snapped as they ran past.

Either they completely ignored her or didn't hear her and they ended up slamming into Hiccup and he suddenly stopped laughing. When they ran over him they had actually smudged the paint off his back and with it now incomplete, its effect had weakened.

"Look when they slammed into Hiccup the paint smudged!" Fishlegs cried with relief.

Hiccup took several deep breaths while clutching his chest. "What a relief, I thought I was gonna die laughing." He then turned and faced Miss Golden Week. "I'm getting real tired of being your canvas!"

"But you are having such a good time," she said. "Wasn't it funny?"

"I don't see how this situation is funny!" Hiccup snapped. He then quickly turned back towards Astrid and the others. "I've got a stock back candle. Plasma…"

Miss Golden Week then began using the red paint. "Another Colour Trap. Time for Bullfight Red!"

"… Blast!" Hiccup yelled.

However instead of shooting the candle he instead aimed at the ground where Miss Golden Week painted yet another symbol.

"Not again," Toothless groaned.

"Okay, what is that colour do?" Astrid asked.

"I simply can't let you break it," said Miss Golden Week. "Mr 3 wouldn't be happy about that at all."

"What did you do?" Hiccup demanded angrily.

"During a bullfight, a ball cannot control his urge to attack the red cape. Likewise you can't do anything now, but attack that red circle. That's what I did."

"You know that only a stupid superstition!" Hiccup yelled angrily. "But that little trick of yours can only work once, because my Plasma Blast are able to scorch the ground."

Hiccup was right, the red symbol was completely scorched as was the ground beneath it. However, it didn't solve the problem of Miss Golden Week of manipulating Hiccup's moods whenever he tried to rescue Astrid and the others.

"At this rate, he will never be able to beat her," said Fishlegs.

"Now to finish up," said Miss Golden Week as she dabbed her paintbrush with blue paint. "We'll mix the Laughter Yellow on your back with some Sadness Blue."

The paint struck Hiccup on the back and merged with the yellow paint that was still there. The two panes mixed together into it form the green symbol.

"The last Colours Trap: Tranquil Green."

Hiccup suddenly became very relaxed and when Miss Golden Week set up a picnic he sat down with her and drank a cup of tea.

"Lovely spot," he said.

"So what happens now?" Fishlegs asked looking at the others.

"The only thing we can do is just stand and pose," Toothless sighed.

"I can't believe you're still talking about that," said Vivi in disbelief.

Snotlout and the others were still running away from Mr 5 and Miss Valentine who were still chasing after them.

"Damn, how can they just keep on running like that?" said Mr 5 looking utterly frustrated. He then picked out two bogeys from his nose and aimed them towards them. "Nose Fancy Double Canon!"

He flicked the bogies, but Karoo was able to avoid getting hit and just kept on running.

"You missed us, jerk!" Snotlout laughed.

"Now going, Karoo!" Ruffnut cheered.

"Just keep running!" Tuffnut yelled enthusiastically.

"We need to get back to the others now," said Snotlout.

Mr 5 and Miss Valentine were getting sick and tired of chasing after them and soon came to a stop.

"Chasing them around is getting us nowhere," said Mr 5.

"I noticed," Miss Valentine agreed.

Mr 5 then reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a pistol. "I hate to use this on useless pests like them, but it looks like we may not have a choice now. This little beauty should be quite handy, a 44 calibre six shot flint lock revolver. It's a new model from the South Blue, continuous fire and when I shoot the bullets are invisible."

All this running around had given Snotlout and the twins a chance to figure out what was up with Hiccup. The hints that Mr 5 and Ms Valentine had given also helped, though it was only now that they realised what had happened.

"Okay, when Hiccup with acting strangely those two agents back there mentioned something about paint," said Snotlout.

"You are standing on some black paint," said Ruffnut.

"Yeah, but why would paint have an effect on a person?" Tuffnut frowned.

"Could be some sort of Devil Fruit power," Snotlout shrugged. "It away wasn't the first time that he acted strange. Remember when we ran over him, he had some yellow paint on his back when we crashed into him earlier."

"So what we just have to keep on crashing into him?" Ruffnut asked.

"Won't he get angry?" Tuffnut asked.

"We just have to do something about the pain before it's too late," Snotlout snapped.

Within seconds they soon returned at the duelling area, but it appeared that they were already too late. Astrid and the others were now completely covered in wax and Hiccup just sat there looking tranquil.

"This really is some nice tea," said Hiccup calmly.

"Hey, snap out of it!" Snotlout snapped at him.

Hiccup looked as if he was trying to fight against the effect of the paint, but it was just too strong for him.
