Me: I got someone's help!
I'm glad and Mask is too.
Her name is Michi Haddock O'Brien and thank her for coming to help me! For those who didn't get a chance to help me, do not worry because I will need your help with the other sequels I plan on making. I plan on making three more (And I already got my picks thanks for the help!)
Now, let's get on with the story, shall we?
The words, 'We Are The Big Seven' appeared on the screen.
The Big Seven sat around the fire, clearly wondering what they should do.
The present seven were in the same dilemma.
If they fought against the Dark Four, they would have to fight against hardships and overcome their fears. But if they didn't, the world and every being, everyone, and everything in it would suffer. Their past selves knew the Dark Four would rise again, so they allowed themselves to be reborn when the seals were close to breaking so they could stop the Dark Four once more, but permanently this time unlike the last.
Rapunzel looked at her friends, who were deep in thought. She looked at Kingdom Corona. She flashed back to all those people were having fun during the event yesterday. What if it was their last?
Rapunzel frowned and knew her choice. She looked at her friends and got up.
RAPUNZEL
"I'm doing it."
They all wiped their heads to stare at her in shock.
Everyone else was in shock too, Gothel even more so at the answer Rapunzel, the girl who clearly doesn't fight much at all and would prefer not to saying she would fight the Dark Four.
FLYNN (ASKING) (SHOCKED)
"Rapunzel did you just?"
Rapunzel nodded, her face becoming determined and serious, showing that she wasn't going to back down no matter what anyone said.
RAPUNZEL
"I'm not gonna let people suffer because I choose not to. I'm not going to let people have their lives changed so badly like the first battle. I know I don't remember my past life like all of you, but if I wanted to be reborn to fight the Dark Four again, then I will fight."
"Good point," Vanja stated.
She looked at all of them.
RAPUNZEL (CONT'D)
"But I know that I can't do it alone. We defeated the Dark Four in our past lives all those years ago together, not by ourselves. I need you guys. Are we really gonna let being reborn into being someone different stop us?"
Rapunzel looked at the book.
RAPUNZEL (CONT'D)
"The Prophecy describes us all."
Standing up, Rapunzel looks at all of them.
"But I am blind you see who I really am," Rapunzel sighed.
RAPUNZEL (CONT'D)
"Who are we to ignore something that we choose to be reborn to stop just because we're not the person we were in the past anymore."
The seven of them looked at each other. It was true, why should they let the wold fall because they weren't their past selves? There would be no world if it wasn't for their past selves, so now the task was up to them to finish what they could not have.
Rapunzel closes her eyes. She flashed back and saw how those people in Corona were having the time of their life. Rapunzel opened her eyes and looked at her friends, her reborn friends. She opened her mouth and started to sing.
RAPUNZEL-
Oh, yeah.
Here we are now.
Everything is about to change.
As Rapunzel sang, her hair glowed. Merida's eyes became determined and she stood up, making up her mind.
"I'm right, everything was gonna change," Rapunzel smiled.
MERIDA-
We face tomorrow, as we say goodbye to yesterday.
Jamie looked at the only two girls in the group. He then thought of his mother, his sister, and his step-father. With his decision in mind, he got up.
"Yesterday was who they were, tomorrow is who they are," Merida stated.
JAMIE-
A chapter ending, but the stories only just begun.
A page is turning for everyone.
Jamie, Rapunzel, and Merida smiled at each other, happy smiles on their faces. Hiccup, Toothless, Jack, and Flynn looked on, wondering what they should do as Jamie, Rapunzel, and Merida sang.
"It's the next chapter in the book, and we're in it," Jamie said.
RAPUNZEL/MERIDA/JAMIE-
So I'm moving on.
Letting go.
Holding on to tomorrow.
I've always got the memories,
While I'm finding out who I'm gonna be.
We might be apart, but I hope you always know.
You'll be with me.
Wherever I go.
Wherever I go.
Rapunzel, Merida, and Jamie smiled, looking at each other, seeing that they are on the same track of thinking. At least they knew that they were in, but what about the others.
Rapunzel, Merida, and Jamie place their left hands on top of each other like they did in the fire, Rapunzel first, Merida second and Jamie third. Jack looked down just for a second before getting up. Jack walked over and placed his left hand on top Jamies.
JACK-
So excited, I can barely even catch my breath.
Flynn smiled as he made up his choice. He got up and placed his left hand on top of Jack's.
"Just gonna some fun saving the world," Jack smirked.
FLYNN-
We have each other, to lean on for the road ahead.
Toothless looked at them all and thought of Nightcore and Midnight, both whom he hadn't seen in five years. Toothless glanced down at Hiccup, who was still deep in thought. Toothless nodded, knowing it was Hiccup's choice to make.
"We are what each other's need," Flynn said.
TOOTHLESS-
This happy ending is the start of all our dreams, and I know your heart is with me.
Toothless got up and walked over to the others, not seeing Hiccup watching him. Toothless placed his left hand on top of the others. He made his choice. He is going to fight the Dark Four and their armies.
"We need to be there for each other when we need each other," Toothless stated.
MERIDA/RAPUNZEL/JAMIE/JACK/FLYNN/TOOTHLESS
So I'm moving on.
Letting go.
Holding on to tomorrow.
I've always got the memories, while I'm finding out who I'm gonna be.
We might be apart, but I hope you always know.
You'll be with me.
Wherever I go.
Hiccup watched them. He bit his lip in doubt. In his head, he heard his father's voice, 'Every time you step outside disaster follows!' In his head, he heard Astrid's voice, 'He's never where he should be.' In his head, he heard Gobber's voice, 'It's what's inside he can't stand.' He doesn't know what to do, should he fight?
Stoick, Astrid, and Gobber shifted in their seats when eyes turned to them, uncomfortable. They had no idea that their words meant something to Hiccup, even though they weren't good. When they said them they were supposed to make Hiccup act more like a Viking, but instead, it just made him feel more like an outcast.
Hiccup watched as Toothless turned his body to him, smiling. Hiccup closed his eyes before opening them, smiling, his mind made up. He walked over and placed his left hand on top the others. Hiccup then sang, his voice powerful and strong.
HICCUP-
It's time to show the world we've got something to say!
A song to sing out loud!
We'll never fade away!
They all smiled together. They weren't giving in so easily.
Everyone gasped when Hiccup joined in, his voice powerful and strong. Hiccup rubbed the back of his head.
"But it was true, it was time to fight the Dark Four and let our voices be heard from everywhere," Hiccup said.
ALL-
I know I'll miss you, but we'll meet again someday.
We'll never fade away!
As one, their eyes flashed the colors in the battle. From their left hands, the colors or elements were slowly climbing up their arms. But the seven of them ignored it, merely glancing at the light traveling up their arms.
The seven looked at each other, the choice clearly on being made.
So I'm moving on.
Letting go.
Holding on to tomorrow.
I've always got the memories,
While I'm finding out who I'm gonna be.
We might be apart,
But I hope you always know.
You'll be with me.
Wherever I go.
Hiccup had the element of Earth surround him. Toothless had the element of Lighting surround him. Merida had the element of Fire surround her. Rapunzel had the yellow light from her Healing power and the pink energy of Emotions surround her. Flynn had the elements of Water surround him. Jack had the elements Wind and Ice surround him. Jamie had the element of Light surround him.
The seven of them looked at themselves, seeing if they were glowing.
"You won't being glowing in here, no one can use their powers in here unless I allow them to, unless the person you wish to use them against deserves it," Triforce explained.
So I'm moving on.
Letting go.
Holding on to tomorrow.
Wherever I go.
I've always got the memories, while I'm finding out who I'm gonna be
We might be apart, but I hope you always know.
You'll be with me.
Yeah.
Their power retreated back into them as their song slowed down. They blinked at each other as each of them smiled. The choice was made. They were going to fight and nothing was gonna stop them.
Wherever I go, wherever I, wherever I go.
Everyone cheered, glad that the seven of them decided to become the Big Seven again. The Dark Four glowered, eyes twitching as they sat in their seats.
Even when the song finished, they didn't move. They didn't speak. Pascal was watching from his seat on the ground, looking happy. After a couple of seconds of staring at each other, it was Hiccup who spoke.
HICCUP
"We are not going to let people suffer because we back down. We are going to fight and give it all we got. We aren't gonna give in so easily. Rapunzel is right; we chose to be reborn to fight the Dark Four because we knew the seals wouldn't hold. So, let's fight them once again."
The other six nodded.
TOOTHLESS (LOOKING AT HICCUP)
"And we got our leader."
Hiccup gasped, shocked.
Him?! As Leader?! No one wanted him as a leader because he was, well, a hiccup. Even the Viking's were shocked at what Toothless suggested. Black Night was fuming, angry that Toothless vouched for a weak human Viking boy to be a leader instead of himself.
Triforce looked over at Black Night and sighed, shaking her head.
At Hiccup's shocked looked, Toothless explained.
TOOTHLESS (CONT'D)
"You can't deny it, Hiccup. The villagers on Berk may have said that you will never be a good leader, but I think you can. Prove to them that you can be a great leader."
Toothless leaned forward a bit.
TOOTHLESS (STATING) (CONT'D)
"Prove to them that they're wrong. I'll follow you."
Hiccup still looked unsure, nervousness clearly showing in his eyes.
MERIDA
"I will too."
Hiccup whipped his head towards her in shock.
Hiccup did the same with the present Merida. Did she just say what he thought she just said?
FLYNN
"Us too."
Flynn gestured to him and Rapunzel.
JACK
"Same."
Jamie nodded in agreement.
Hiccup stared at them in shock. Hiccup smiled. Hiccup gave a sharp nod.
Hiccup blushed when the six sitting near him did the same thing, saying words of encouragement and that he had this. They willingly chose him as the leader of the group. They wanted him to lead them, they wanted him to be the leader. All of them are right, he'll prove to Berk that they're wrong.
HICCUP
"Alright, I'll be the leader. We are The Big Seven!"
The other six let out a joyful laugh and they too shouted it out.
MERIDA/FLYNN/RAPUNZEL/JAMIE/JACK/TOOTHLESS
"We are The Big Seven!"
Jamie yawned then, removing his hand from the pile.
JAMIE
"I don't know about you guy's, but even after sleeping for almost an entire day, I still feel tired."
"Your power, it's draining you at first but the more you get used to it the less it drains," Oracle says.
All but Merida, Hiccup, and Toothless nodded.
HICCUP
"Get some sleep. Toothless and I are going for a flight. We need one, right bud."
He looked at Toothless, whose face light up upon hearing the word 'flight'. Without waiting, Toothless grabbed Hiccup's hand and pulled him over to the side.
TOOTHLESS (EXCITED)
"Oh yeah! Come on, let's go!"
Hiccup chuckled at Toothless' excitement.
Merida watched them and in a split second, followed after them. Merida got next to Hiccup just as Toothless transformed into a full dragon.
MERIDA
"Hiccup!"
Hiccup turned to her, wanting to see what she wants.
HICCUP (ASKING)
"Yes, Merida?"
Merida opened her mouth to say something but closed it when nothing came out. Merida blushed, rubbing the back of her neck, feeling embarrassed.
MERIDA (STUTTERING)
"I was wondering if…you could let me..uh."
"Oh my God, could it be possible?" Jack said with a wide smile, "Merida is stuttering."
"Oh, hush you. Let's keep watching," Rapunzel said, earning a small nod of gratitude from Merida.
Hiccup smiled and crossed his arms.
HICCUP (ASKING)
"You were wondering if you could join us?"
Merida nodded. Hiccup glanced at Toothless, who nodded. When Hiccup turned back to face Merida, he didn't see Toothless give a look of victory, happy at where this going. Merida didn't see it either.
"Toothless. Why the sudden look of victory?" Hiccup asked, warily.
Toothless give him a sided hug and then smiled innocently, "I have no idea what you're talking about."
HICCUP (CONT'D)
"Toothless doesn't mind."
Hiccup got on Toothless back. Hiccup then held his hand out to Merida from where he sat on Toothless. Merida who looked at the hand offered to her.
"Good. I came just in time," a new voice said.
Everyone turned just in time to see a girl appear behind them. The girl looked sixteen. She wore rectangular glasses. She had dark brown eyes and hair, her hair was tied in a disheveled ponytail. She wore a black shirt with the captions, "A chief protects his own." and, "The alpha protects them all." She also wore jeans and military brown boots. She had a sword with her.
With all the eyes directed at her, she blushed self-consciously and scratched the back of her neck. She then cleared her throat.
"Right. How rude of me. Hi, I'm Shelly Skyssa Torres. Shelly for short. I'm here to help Triforce while Mask takes a break. If I don't mess up, that is. Any questions?"
Jamie raised his hand.
"Yes, Jamie?"
"Why is your ponytail disheveled?" Jamie asked.
Shelly giggled, "Well, I don't like to brush my hair, but I couldn't come here with my hair looking like a lion's mane either."
"Sounds fair," Jamie conceded.
"Although, Meri's hair is always wild," Jack chuckled. Merida glared at him and he raised his hands in mock surrender, "Just teasing you."
Before Merida could say something else, Shelly spoke up, "Let's keep watching the movie. This is one of my favorite parts."
HICCUP (ASKING) (CONT'D)
"Merida, do you trust Toothless? Do you trust me?"
"Of course I do, Hiccup," Merida stated. Hiccup smiled at her and she smiled back.
Merida smiled. She nodded and took Hiccup's hand.
MERIDA (FIRMLY)
"Yes."
Hiccup pulled Merida in sit behind him. Once Merida was seated, Toothless took off into the air. The sudden liftoff caused Merida to gasp and hold onto Hiccup, burying her head into his back.
Once they were still in the air, Merida removed her head from Hiccup's back but kept her hold on Hiccup. Hiccup blushed at this.
Hiccup and Merida were blushing furiously. The other five were smiling at them. Rapunzel and Jamie nodded encouragingly. Toothless, Jack and Flynn teasingly.
"Awww. You two look like tomatoes," Shelly stated, making the couple blush even more and the others to laugh.
Triforce chuckled behind her hand, but also noted that Valka seemed to be squirming in her seat in excitement.
HICCUP (BASHFULLY)
"Merida, it's okay to let go. If you fall, Toothless and I will catch you."
Merida, seeing that she was still holding Hiccup, blushed and let go.
Merida then looked around and gasp. Beauty was all around her. She thought it was beautiful when she was on the ground, but she was sorely mistaken. It was more beautiful up in the air then she could have ever imagined.
Everyone was astonished to see such a beautiful sight. Hiccup and Toothless smiled knowingly.
Hiccup looked behind at her, a smile on his face. Hiccup then looked down and bit his lip, wondering something. Seemly coming to a decision, Hiccup nodded and looked back at Merida.
HICCUP (CONT'D)
"There's so much that you can see down below, but you can see much more in the air, Merida."
"If anyone dares to ruin their moment…," Shelly unshielded her sword, "There will be Hell to pay."
Everyone nodded their heads, a little scared of the teen.
Once Merida had her attention to him, Hiccup started to sing.
HICCUP-
We can show you the world.
Shining, shimmering, splendid.
Tell me, princess, now when did you last let your heart decide?
Merida frowned slightly. Everything she did was always decided by her brain or by force. She didn't remember a time when she did let her heart decide. She couldn't. She was a princess, and she was needed to act like one-
At the question, Hiccup looked Merida in her eyes. Merida looked down. She looked back at Hiccup when he continued.
I can open your eyes.
Take you wonder by wonder.
Over, sideways, and under on a magic dragon ride.
A whole new world!
No. Not anymore. She was meant to do something more. She could be something more than forced marriages or dumb laws. She could be free, she could help her friends save the world. She could be herself.
As he sang, Hiccup looked back in front of him. Toothless flew sideways around a cloud before going under one. Merida looked over Hiccup's shoulder at the world below, gasping when she saw the ocean glistening in the moonlight.
Gasps of amazement filled the theater. Most of them belonged to kids, but there were also adults that were amazed by the sights.
A new fantastic point of view!
No one to tell us no, or where to go, or say we're only dreaming.
Merida snapped her head back to Hiccup when he sang the start of the second sentence to find he was once again staring at her. Hope filled Merida's eyes. Hiccup was right. Merida smiled and joined in the song.
MERIDA-
A whole new world!
A dazzling place I always knew!
But when I'm way up here, it's crystal clear!
That now I'm in a whole new world with you!
Merida looked around with an overjoyed look in her eyes. Merida raised her hands up into the night sky, feeling free. She touches Hiccups shoulder, getting him to look at her.
Hiccup and Merida glanced at each other right before they intertwined arms.
Flynn was going to say something, but Shelly directed her sword towards him, making him close his mouth.
HICCUP-
Now I'm in a whole new world with you!
Hiccup slowly turns his body to her, a smile on his face. Hiccup holds out his left hand and Merida takes it with her right.
MERIDA-
Unbelievable sights!
Indescribable feeling!
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling!
Through an endless diamond sky!
A whole new world!
Merida looks up as she sees a meteor fly across the stars. Merida holds her chest with her left hand, describing her feelings. Toothless looks back and does a dragonic smile. Toothless does a loop in the air, making Hiccup pull Merida closer to him. Both teens look up at the star-filled night, the star shimmering like diamonds. Toothless suddenly turns to the side, making Merida and Hiccup free fall. Merida's eyes widen and she closes her eyes.
Merida's parents were having a minus hearth attack for all the things that Toothless was doing on the screen.
HICCUP-
(Don't you dare close your eyes!)
Hiccup smiles and touches Merida's face, getting her to open her eyes.
MERIDA-
A hundred thousand things to see!
Merida looks around wildly, taking in all the sights. Hiccup and Merida spread their limbs like they were trying to fly. Hiccup and Merida look at Toothless, who flies under them.
HICCUP-
(Hold your breath! It gets better!)
Hiccup pulls Merida to him before moving the both of them in the air so they would stand on Toothless's back while he flys. They pull away, but their hands stay connected. Now, it was Merida who was in front and Hiccup in the back.
MERIDA-
I'm like a shooting star!
I've come so far!
I can't go back to where I used to be!
Queen Elinor frowned, sad that her daughter really did not want to come back home, and be the princess she had to be. His husband, on the other hand, was sad that his two girls may have not the chance to talk thing out with each other.
Hiccup pulls Merida to sit down. Once she was sitting, he sat behind her. Merida looks back at Hiccup at the last sentence, telling him that she couldn't go back home. Hiccup nods in understanding. Both look ahead to see the beauty around them.
HICCUP-
A whole new world!
MERIDA-
(Every turn a surprise!)
HICCUP-
With new horizons to pursue!
MERIDA-
(Every moment, red-letter!)
Merida and Hiccup look at each other before they both look down to see a group of whales jump out of the ocean and into the air before falling back in the water. They smile at each other and once again look ahead.
BOTH-
I'll chase them anywhere!
There's time to spare!
Let me share this whole new world with you.
Toothless flies them over the Kingdom of Corona, letting Hiccup and Merida see all the lights that were on.
They intertwined hands now. Thinking that, that moment, right there, was perfect.
HICCUP-
A whole new world.
Hiccup moves closer to Merida, wrapping his right arm around her.
MERIDA-
(A whole new world.)
Merida leans back into Hiccup, moving her left arm to cover Hiccup's right arm.
HICCUP-
That's where we'll be.
Hiccup moves his head to rest on Merida's right shoulder.
MERIDA-
(That's where we'll be.)
Merida leans her head back to rest on Hiccup's left shoulder.
HICCUP-
A thrilling chase.
Hiccup looks into Merida's eyes.
MERIDA-
A wondrous place.
Merida looks right back at Hiccup.
BOTH-
For you and me.
Both teens lean forward to rest their foreheads against the other as they finished the song.
Just like Merida and Hiccup rested into each other's side, smiling. This moment truly was perfect.
After about a minute, both Merida and Hiccup blush, moving their heads away from each other. Toothless, who was watching them, let out a grumble of disappointment. Merida looks away, not able to look at Hiccup, her face red.
Some people let also huffs of disappointment at seeing this, and more huffs came out at seeing that Merida and Hiccup were blushing and were no longer holding hands. Yep. The moment too perfect to be true.
MERIDA (FREAKED OUT)
"Sorry! I didn't mean to get so close!"
Merida pulled away only to be pulled back by Hiccup's strong grip that locked her in place. Merida gasped, looking at Hiccup in surprise. He was staring at her with a look of longing.
HICCUP (BEGGING)
"Don't. Please."
Toothless looked at Hiccup. Remembering that those were the same words Hiccup had said to him when they first met.
Toothless's ears perked up. Hiccup rested his head on Merida's shoulder again, still looking at her with that look of longing.
HICCUP (CONT'D)
"I don't mind."
Merida stared at Hiccup in shock for a couple more seconds before she nodded, smiling. Merida leaned her head back onto Hiccup's shoulder. Hiccup closed his eyes, lost in the contact. Merida, however, stared at him for a couple more seconds then stared at the Night Fury they were riding on the back of.
MERIDA (WHISPERING)
"He hardly ever got contact from his tribe, didn't he."
Hiccup shifted uncomfortably on his seat. He didn't really want another reminder of what he has been through. Toothless, sensing this, hugged Hiccup, sending glares at all the Vikings he could.
She knew Toothless would hear her. At Toothless's nod, Merida frowned and looked at Hiccups face. It looked peaceful.
MERIDA (ASKING) (CONT'D)
"Hiccup?"
Hiccup opened one eye, looking at her.
MERIDA (CONT'D)
"I don't mind does this again."
Hiccup sent Merida a big smile, which Merida returned.
Hiccup smiled, it seemed he didn't mind either. Hiccup closed his eye again and this time, Merida closed her eyes too, feeling the wind brushing against their skin. Toothless smiled turned around, flying back to camp.
TOOTHLESS (IN THOUGHTS)
"This flight may not have gone the way I wanted it to, but this is better than anything."
Shelly brought down her sword. Her job was done here.
"Now, you may tease them all that you want."
Two annoyed grunts could be heard, followed by several laughs.
Triforce laughed, looking over at Shelly, "A job well done. You did make a couple of mistakes, but overall, I am impressed. Mask would say so as well."
Shelly blushed.
SCENE CHANGE: CAMP
Back at camp, the fire was slowly burning. Jack was looking down at the only three in the group who was sleeping. Flynn was lying on his back, an arm around Rapunzel and Jamie, keeping them warm. Jack smiled and stared up at the moon.
Down below, Rapunzel moaned before opening her eyes. Sitting up, she looked around. Seeing that Toothless, Merida and Hiccup weren't back from their flight, she shook her head. She looked down and saw Flynn and Jamie sleeping, Pascal sleeping on Jamie's head.
She then frowned looking around once more. Finally, she looked up, seeing Jack sitting in the three above them, looking at the moon.
Rapunzel gets up and walks over. She opens her mouth to see something when something catches her attention. Looking into the woods, Rapunzel sees a green glow faded around a couple of bushes.
Everyone looked confused at the green light. What was it and why was it there? It looked like it didn't belong.
Narrowing her eyes at the sight, Rapunzel walks into the forest, following the green light.
When Rapunzel walked into the forest, she brushed against a bush, making a noise. Jack looked at the sight and sees Rapunzel walking into the woods. Casting a quick glance to Flynn and Jamie, Jack followed Rapunzel through the woods jumping branch to branch.
Shelly snickered, "Going after your girl, I see."
This made Rapunzel and Jack blush. At the same time, Hiccup and Merida were thinking of the same thing. Payback.
Rapunzel walked into a small clearing and looked around. Jack landed on a branch above Rapunzel, watching her. After looking for the green light not seeing it, Rapunzel huffed.
RAPUNZEL
"Following a green light into the woods, really smart of you, Rapunzel."
"Yeah, really smart of me," Rapunzel stated.
Rapunzel turned around intent on going back to camp when a voice spoke from behind her.
GOTHEL
"It was the only way for me to get you away from them my dear."
Shelly growled with her presence, startling some of the people around her. She ignored them.
Rapunzel froze, knowing whose voice it was and whipped around. Gothel stepped out of the forest and into the small clearing. Jack instantly got into a jumping posture, ready to jump out.
Gasp!
It was Gothel! She lured Rapunzel into a trap! At least Jack was there.
Gothel smirked, clearly happy that she was able to get Rapunzel alone-ish. Rapunzel stared at Gothel in shock but cooled her features.
RAPUNZEL (SHOCKED) (FAKING)
"Mother, what are you doing here?"
"Why is she calling her 'Mother' when she knows that she isn't?"
"She's faking it in case Gothel doesn't know that she knows."
Gothel shook her head.
GOTHEL
"I followed the simple lies of deception they were telling you."
Hiccup, Toothless, Merida, Jack, Jamie, and Flynn growled, not happy that Gothel said what they told Rapunzel was lies.
Gothel then walked forward, grabbing Rapunzel's hand and attempted to pull her along.
GOTHEL (CONT'D)
"Now come on before they realize you're gone."
Rapunzel shook her head and yanked her hand out of Gothel's grip.
RAPUNZEL
"No! I like it out here. I made new friends. They know my secret! They all like me."
Jack smiled at Rapunzel speaking up for herself. Gothel looked shocked for a second before she schooled her features.
GOTHEL (STATING)
"Like you? Please, Rapunzel, that's demented."
Rapunzel shook her head, not believing that. Gothel walked towards Rapunzel and Rapunzel grabbed her dress, keeping herself from grabbing her dagger that rested on her lower back.
"Resiting to urge to stab," Merida asked.
"Obviously," Jack rolled his eyes.
GOTHEL (CONT'D)
"This is why you never should have left! Dear, this whole friendship that you've invented, just proves you're too naive to be here."
Gothel touched Rapunzel's shoulder. Rapunzel's eye twitched as she tried not to flinch.
GOTHEL (ASKING) (CONT'D)
"Why would they like you? Come on now, really! Look at you, you think that they're impressed."
She grabbed a strain of Rapunzel's hair and gestured to it. Jack growled, not liking that one bit. Gothel pulled away a couple of steps, opening her arms wide.
GOTHEL-
Don't be a dummy, come with Mummy.
Mother...
RAPUNZEL (SHOUTING)
"No!"
Rapunzel clearly had enough. Gothel looked surprised, dropping her arms.
GOTHEL
"No?! Oh. I see how it is."
A nasty smile appeared on Gothel's face. Rapunzel's eyes widen, seeing that she might have gone too far. Jack gulped, his staff glowed faintly.
Rapunzel gulped, hoping she didn't go too far. But by the smile that Gothel has on her face, she did go too far.
GOTHEL-
Rapunzel knows best.
Rapunzel's so mature now, such a clever grown-up miss.
Rapunzel knows best.
Fine, if you're so sure now, go ahead and show them this!
Gothel walks forward with an attitude and taps Rapunzel on the head, making Rapunzel draw away. Rapunzel looked uneasy as Gothel turned around, still looking at Rapunzel before she whipped again, holding out a lock of brown hair that was tied together. Rapunzel gasped in shock, her hands going to her braided hair to pull some of it out, revealing a lock of brown hair that was hidden in her blonde hair.
RAPUNZEL (WHIMPERING)
"That hair...it's mine."
Shocked at the cruelty, even though they didn't know why except seeing the hair clearly bothered Rapunzel, that Gothel had. Mothers tossed glares at Gothel, including Rapunzel's real mom, who gave Gothel a glare that Queen normally didn't do.
Jack had enough and he jumped down, landing right next to Rapunzel. Rapunzel gasped in shock and Gothel blinked in surprise. Jack glared at Gothel.
JACK-
Rapunzel knows best.
Rapunzel makes her own choices.
She's so much smarter than you.
Rapunzel knows best.
Rapunzel, you're on the right path now.
Go ahead and tell her you know!
As Jack sang, he glared at Gothel. Said woman was now glaring back at the white-haired Spirit. Jack turned to Rapunzel, worry in his eyes as he sang. Jack gestured to Gothel with his staff. Rapunzel looked at Jack, shocked.
"She is. Rapunzel is smarter then you'll ever be Gothel," Jack said.
"I like to see that spirit," Gothel spoke.
Jack and the others bristled at the nonchalant reply.
RAPUNZEL
"How did you-"
Rapunzel tried to ask Jack, however, she was interrupted as Gothel started singing again, drawing Rapunzel's and Jack's attention to her.
GOTHEL-
Ha, this is why they're here!
Don't let them deceive you!
Show it to them, watch, you'll see!
Gothel threw the lock of hair to Rapunzel, who caught it. Jack stepped in front of Rapunzel and grabbed her shoulders, getting her to look at him.
JACK-
Rapunzel, she is lying!
Don't let her trick you!
You know the truth within your heart!
Jack shook his head as he placed his left hand on Rapunzel's heart. Behind him, Gothel was lifting her hand, a green light flowing it. Rapunzel saw this and yelled Jack's name in fear.
RAPUNZEL
"Jack!"
Jack grabbed Rapunzel and whirled around to the right, the blast missing them both and hitting a tree. Jack moved in front of Rapunzel protectively, holding his staff out and ready to fire a blast of ice if needed.
"She's trying to kill them both!"
"I thought she wanted to get Rapunzel to come with her?"
"Not now, I don't think Rapunzel was gonna go with her anyway."
GOTHEL-
Trust me, my dear.
*snaps*
That's how fast they'll leave you!
I won't say I told you so - no, Rapunzel knows best!
So if they're really your friends, go and put them to the test!
Gothel snaps her fingers before she pointed at Rapunzel. Gothel stomped her foot, swinging the same arm she used to snap her fingers in the air. Jack shook his head and looked back at Rapunzel.
JACK-
Trust me, Rapunzel!
We will never desert you!
We are a team forever - yes, you know what's best!
Rapunzel, we're your true friends, so leave her be, there's no test!
Jack looked at Rapunzel with a look of truth, telling her what he was saying was true. Jack turned back to Gothel at the last part of his verse. Gothel growled and threw a blast at them.
Jack turned and grabbed Rapunzel, pushing the both of them to the ground.
RAPUNZEL (YELLING)
"Aaah, Jack!"
The blast hit the tree Jack was previously using. Seeing the tree falling towards them, Jack rolled Rapunzel and him to the left and out of the way of the falling tree.
Jamie, Hiccup, Toothless, Merida, and Flynn had gotten off their chairs to cocoon Rapunzel and Jack into their grasp.
GOTHEL-
If their lying, don't come crying, Mother knows best!
Gothel runs towards the forest and stops at the outline, looking back at Rapunzel. She brings her arms up and turned around, vanishing into the forest shadows.
"Man, that Witch is crazy," Shelly muttered.
Jack and Rapunzel stare at where Gothel disappeared before Jack got up. He grabbed Rapunzel's hand and pulled her up as well. The glow on Jack's staff died down as Jack looked at Rapunzel.
JACK (GENTLY)
"Rapunzel."
Rapunzel looked up at Jack. Jack takes Rapunzel's chin in his left hand, looking her in the eye.
JACK-
She is lying.
Come on, Rapunzel.
You know best.
Jack sang his last verse slowly as the wind blew around the wind like a protective halo. Rapunzel smiled, knowing that it was Jack doing the wind even if he didn't know it.
Rapunzel smiled and hugged Jack, making the Winter Spirit blush, his cheeks turning blue. This, of course, caused others to giggle.
Rapunzel hugged Jack, shocking the winter spirit. Slowly, Jack hugged Rapunzel back and looked around. Once he was sure no one watching, Jack flew back to camp. Once there, he set Rapunzel on the ground near the fire and sat next to her, putting his staff on the ground next to him. Rapunzel looked at him with worry.
RAPUNZEL (ASKING)
"Won't the fire hurt you?"
Jack smiled and shook his head.
JACK (EXPLAINING)
"Not if I make my body temperature cold enough. The heat doesn't hurt me that way. I just don't do it that much because others can't touch me because I'm so cold."
"You're doing it to keep me company, how sweet of you," Rapunzel said, looking at the screen which caused her to miss out on the blush on Jack' face deepening in color at the praise.
Rapunzel nodded, loving the fact that Jack was doing something he didn't do much for her.
RAPUNZEL
"Jack, about what happened with Gothel? Thanks, for helping me."
Rapunzel then hugged Jack, not caring that he was literally cold to the touch. She just wanted to hug the one who nearly got hurt trying to help her.
Jack blushed, his cheeks turning a tint of blue. Jack slowly brought his hand up to Rapunzel's head, stroking the side of her head. Jack pulled Rapunzel closer with his right arm, holding her to him.
Rapunzel glanced up at him.
RAPUNZEL (CONT'D)
"What did you mean by when you sang 'Rapunzel knows best'?"
Jack blushed more at the question Rapunzel asked him. But he cleared his throat and answered anyway.
JACK
"I meant that you were old enough to make your own choices and that you know what's best for you."
"Adorable."
"Awww! So cute!"
"They look great together!"
Jack and Rapunzel blushed, releasing each other from their hug to rub the backs of their necks in embarrassment and a hint of pride.
After a couple of seconds, Jack looked down to see Rapunzel smiling at him.
RAPUNZEL
"Thanks. That means a lot. I know that I'm naive and gullible at times, but I am no fool to certain things."
Jack smiled, the blush gone.
JACK
"I never took you to be."
Jack brushed Rapunzel's hair, accidentally touching the same lock of brown hair that Rapunzel pulled out during the confrontation with Gothel. Jack frowned at the brown hair, then glanced down to the lock of tied hair that Rapunzel still had in her grasp.
Rapunzel noticed and pulled away, also frowning. Her hand went up to feel the brown hair that was attached to her head.
RAPUNZEL
"My hair has the ability to heal and reverse aging for a certain time. But if it's cut, it turns brown and loses its power. That's why so little people know about it and why I don't want people to know about it. I don't want to be treated any differently or be used as a tool."
JACK
"And a gift like that has to be protected."
"That's why you never left the tower alone," Flynn said.
Rapunzel chuckled nervously.
When Rapunzel nodded, Jack touched her shoulder. Rapunzel looked at Jack to find that he has a kind smile on his face.
JACK (CONT'D)
"The others and I won't let anything happen to you, Rapunzel. We'll help protect you, you and your gift."
Rapunzel smiled at Jacks words, hugging him again.
After a couple of seconds, they pulled away, getting up.
RAPUNZEL
"We should get some sleep for the morning."
Jack nodded. He looked up and saw Toothless in the distance, returning to camp.
JACK (STATING)
"We should also tell the others about what happened with Gothel in the morning."
Rapunzel suddenly looked worried.
RAPUNZEL (ASKING)
"You sure."
Jack smiled and shrugged.
JACK
"Oh, yeah, how bad can it be?"
"Jack, you jinxed it," Jamie teased.
"Totally jinxed," Toothless added.
"Can't wait to see oh this turns out," Hiccup smiled.
SCENE CHANGE: MORNING
MERIDA/FLYNN (SHOUTING)
"WHAT!"
Shelly laughed a little at their little outburst.
Jack and Rapunzel flinched back at the shout, both running towards Toothless to hide behind him. Toothless looked alarmed, looking behind him at the two, who were holding each other close in an attempt to feel safe.
TOOTHLESS (EXCLAIMING)
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Why are you hiding behind me?!
Toothless tried to move away from the two.
RAPUNZEL (STATING)
"Because you're fireproof."
"Yes. Fireproof. Not 'Angry-Merida-and-Flynn-proof," Shelly giggled.
JACK (STATING)
"And fire will burn me for a short while and water will freeze around me."
Everyone laughed. Toothless glared at Rapunzel and Jack, crossing his arms. Rapunzel and Jack looked sheepish, looking at Toothless with not-so-sorry smiles.
Hiccup, Jamie, and Pascal, who was on Jamie's shoulder, smiled at the sight of what was happening. Both boys were holding their hands to their mouths in an attempt to keep themselves from laughing out loud.
Hiccup and Jamie laughed, giving each other a thumbs up.
MERIDA (SHOUTING IN ANGER)
"Who does that woman think she is! If I was there, I would have burned her beyond recognition!"
FLYNN (YELLING IN ANGER)
"I would have seen how long she could have lasted with water, boiling hot and freezing cold!"
Gothel had the decency to look sheepish.
Finally, Hiccup stepped forward, clearing his throat.
HICCUP
"Well, since this happens, we know what to do."
JAMIE (ASKING)
"What."
Hiccup smiled.
HICCUP
"Training."
Seeing everyone was now confused, Hiccup explained what he meant by 'Training'.
HICCUP (EXPLAINING) (CONT'D)
"We have powers, but we don't know how to use them right. If we train, we can get better. We can also spar with each other, allowing us to fight with an opposite element or against an opposite element. We can also teach each other our skills so we would know what to do in situations that call for them."
The seven look at each other, agreeing with what was said.
The other six looked at each other, muddling over what Hiccup said. Finally, Toothless nodded.
TOOTHLESS
"It's a good idea. We need to train to get better. After all, our past selves most likely trained as well, but we're different than them and we don't exactly have their skills."
Merida nodded as well.
MERIDA
"My father said that sometimes you need to train to get better, even if you believe you know how to it, it's better to train because you might learn something that you hadn't before."
Jack, Jamie, and Flynn thought it over and nodded, agreeing.
Hiccup smiled, because this is the first time in a while someone besides Toothless accepted his ideas.
HICCUP
"It's settled then. We start training once we're already."
FLYNN (ASKING)
"After breakfast?"
HICCUP/TOOTHLESS/RAPUNZEL/MERIDA/JACK/JAMIE
"Why not."
"Breakfast! The most important meal of the day," Triforce says, chuckling.
Me: Please thank Michi Haddock O'Brien for her help and for everyone else that offered!
