Hiccup awoke to find himself in a prison cell.
"What happened?" he said looking around.
"You been putting the clink," said a voice behind him.
Hiccup turned and saw Gruffnut sitting on the bed with his arms folded.
"Gruffnut?" Hiccup stared. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm more interested in what you're doing here after all you're not a thief like me," said Gruffnut.
Hiccup thought back and remember how we got knocked out by Imitatia, who had been pretending to be Sigrid Lobster all this time. He also remembered that Ruby was with him at the time.
"Ruby?" he stared. He then turned to Gruffnut. "Where is she?"
"Beats me, the only other person I've seen it all the guards when they tossed you in here and you were alone," said Gruffnut.
"There was no one else with me?" Hiccup asked. He then turned the cell and grabbed hold of bars. "What did you do with Ruby?"
Suddenly he was blasted back with some kind of magical blast black and slammed into the wall.
"You all right?" Gruffnut asked.
"I'm fine, but what happened," said Hiccup picking himself up.
"There some kind of barrier and am willing to bet that it utilises magic," said Gruffnut.
"That certainly makes things difficult," Hiccup grimaced.
Gruffnut laughed. "More like an impossible, no one has ever escaped here."
"I can't accept that," said Hiccup.
"The sooner you do the better," said Gruffnut. "But if you want out may I suggest that the two of us put our heads together."
Hiccup didn't completely trust Gruffnut, but he knew that he wanted out of here just as much as he did.
"Agreed," said Hiccup turning towards him. "Perhaps running into you was good fortune."
"Looks like one the same team," said Gruffnut getting to his feet.
Hiccup folded his arms. "How about you start by telling me what you're doing here."
"One could argue that I'm merely a victim of my own circumstances. As a master thief I'm drawn to treasure like a moth to flame," said Gruffnut looking quite proud of himself. "I did some snooping and found out that you and your guild will looking for some kind of clock treasure and that that treasure was linked to this temple."
"Whoa, you did your homework," said Hiccup impressively. "Are you sure you're related to Ruff and Tuff?"
"Hiccup, we been plugged into an underground network," said Gruffnut modestly. "I merely asked a few questions here and there and put the pieces together which led me here. Because this place makes us these honest."
Hiccup looked up. "What do you mean?"
Gruffnut had managed to sneak his way into the Senate Room and quickly uses Stealth Magic to vanish just as High Priest Vex and another High Priest entered.
"You're Eminence, concerning the Archon's mental state, I'm afraid we can't keep it under wraps much longer," said the High Priest.
"Have the pilgrims outside caught wind of it?" Vex asked.
"It doesn't appear so quite yet."
"Excellent, we need to present his Holiness to the public until the Founding Festival is already underway and if anyone chooses to spread unwelcome rumours I'll order Grat the Cleaner to eliminate them."
Gruffnut gulped upon hearing this.
"Of course, soon as I heard that I got out of there as quickly as I could," said Gruffnut. "That was easier said than done. I was captured, but thankfully they didn't seem to have any clue that I heard their plans." He then started to shake with fear. "But if the higher up ever find out that I know exactly what they're up to, I'm going to get eliminated for sure."
"Pull yourself together," said Hiccup.
Gruffnut raised an eyebrow. "If you got a plan to get out of this without using magic, I'm all ears."
"We're going to burst out of here, because I've got better things to do," said Hiccup. "Number one is saving Ruby and number two is stopping High Priest Vex."
"And how do you plan on doing?" Gruffnut asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Actually I do have a plan," Hiccup smiled. He then bent down to his leg and pulled out a capsule. "They may have taken my blade, but they failed to my spare containers." He then held at the container to Gruffnut. "This container contains gas courtesy of Ruffnut and you know how strong it is."
Gruffnut smiled upon seeing that.
Meanwhile the Guildhall everyone had finally met up and everyone was quite confused with the recent events.
"With someone mind explaining what's going on here?" Ragnar asked.
"It would seem as if Sigrid's true identity is the sixth member of the Neo-Oracion Seis," said Astrid.
"Yeah, she was just acting all cute and sweet to fool us," Snotlout grumbled.
"This is terrible," said Toothless.
"What's worse is that they now have Hiccup and Ruby," said Snotlout clenching his fists in frustration. "And it's my fault. I was powerless to stop any of it from happening."
"Don't be so hard on yourself," said Adelaide.
"I deserve some of the boring," said Agatha.
"Why? What do you mean?" Astrid frowned.
"My cards didn't say anything about Brain the Second showing up at the Berk Temple, but they usually right on the money," she said holding out the cards. "And I'm sure no one would argue that the teams I picked worked very well, right? Nobody was on the same page."
"I can definitely see your point," Ragnar nodded.
"We didn't agree on anything," said Snotlout.
"Do you think an outside force use your cards against us?" Astrid asked.
"It's possible," said Agatha.
"All that running around was just a big waste of time," said Ragnar.
"Not entirely, Merrill and Dogsbreath managed to take down Grim Reaper," said Cloudjumper.
"That's true, but both Hiccup and Ruby have been kidnapped and no doubt are being used as hostages," said Valka.
"We can't waste any more time feeling sorry for ourselves," said Merrill. "Hiccup and Ruby are in some serious trouble right now and we need to figure out what we can do to help them."
"Merrill, is right we need to act," said Toothless.
"Excuse me," said a voice.
Everyone turned and Toothless' eyes widened upon seeing you it was. It was none other than Bjorn and his research team.
"You're those archaeologists that we met on the ship," said Toothless.
Stoick looked at them suspiciously. "Is there something you want?"
"We came looking for Miss Ruby Heartfull, we're here on the behalf of the Septem Archaeological Society you see," said Bjorn.
Meanwhile at in the loft, Brila was sitting upright in bed as if she was in a daze.
"I hear someone outside," she said.
Stoick soon led the archaeologists inside and was looking at Bjorn with curiosity.
"What you want with Ruby?" he asked.
"And who are you?" Bjorn asked.
"My name is Stoick and I am Dragon Tail's Guild Master. You'll have to talk to me instead."
"This is a matter of extreme importance," said the dwarf. "So it's imperative that we speak with her directly."
"Indeed, it concerns the strange object in the sky," said the elf.
"I'm afraid that's impossible, because she was captured by the Neo-Oracion Seis along with Hiccup," said Toothless.
"This is troubling," said the dwarf.
"Can't you talk to us?" Astrid asked with a slightly pleading face. "We desperately need all the information we can gather right now."
Bjorn nodded. "With the situation unfolding as we speak there's no reason to keep it a secret." He then looked of them. "I assume it's safe to presume that you're familiar with the name Wilheim the Curator? You say I'm actually his great-grandson. My name is Bjorn."
Upon hearing this information everyone stared.
"This is certainly a surprise," said Astrid.
"And what's more I knew Ruby's father as well," Bjorn continued. "Magnus Heartfull and I were quite good friends."
"You knew Ruby's dad?" said Ragnar. "You mind explaining how he fits in?"
"It's a long story, but let me begin by stating that it is my duty to keep watch over the Infinity Clock for as long as I live."
"If that is true then are you a Celestial Viking also?" Stoick asked.
"No I'm not, but like my family I am intermittently familiar the history of the Clock. My lifelong goal is to stave off the chaos it can bring and sound the alarm if that threat becomes reality. I remember when this started, it was several months ago.
"The hand of the Infinity Clock was discovered on a day at an ancient excavation site. Apparently it was buried in the ruins to contain is tremendous magic power. By the time our Archaeological Society received word that it had been unearthed it had already been taken off the premises.
"The hand eventually ended up in Magnus Heartfull's possession, he was the collector of such things you say. Thankfully it wasn't difficult to detect because of its immense magic power. We were quite fortunate, because in the wrong hands it could be extremely dangerous.
"I contacted Magnus immediately in the hopes of preventing any pending chaos that might actually happen. To contain the power emanating from the hand, I carefully wrapped it up in a magical cloth. At that point me in Magnus made an agreement, he would take steps to ensure its safety and move it to another location in tightly."
"So that's why it was sent here to Ruby," said Stoick rubbing his beard. "It's all starting to make sense now."
"I'm still a bit puzzled about who created the Clock and why," said Valka curiously.
"There are many myths and legends regarding, the one that stands most of all was that it was a weapon to use against Drago Bludvist during the Dragon War 800 years ago. It was created by someone named the Chronicler, who hope to use it to take away Drago's immortality."
"The Chronicler?" Merrill lit up.
"She was the woman that led us to you," said Helga.
"Not much is known about apart from her title," said Bjorn. "Anyway, when she realised that the Clock could also be used to destroy the world she immediately stopped assembling it and scattered across the continent and that is when my ancestor pounded and sealed it away."
"Okay so it was supposed to use as a weapon against Drago, but what does it do now and why is it so dangerous?" Astrid asked curiously.
"The Clock has the power to bring about something quite horrific. A grand spell that is known by the name of Real Nightmare."
"And what happens once the spell is cast?" Stoick asked.
"It can dramatically alter the perception of time for all living things. You see, without being the case, I guess you can actually say that it has control over time itself."
"It is a rather difficult concept to explain, because it doesn't actually manipulate time per say," said the elf.
"But it does in fact greatly alter our perception of time," said the dwarf.
"I don't follow you," Ragnar frowned.
"Yeah, neither do I," said Snotlout scratching the top of his head.
"This control over time is what the inscription refers to the 'inevitable chaos,'" the dwarf explained.
"And you're saying this is gonna bring about the end of the world?" Ragnar frowned. "It doesn't make any sense to me."
"Just think about it for a moment," said Bjorn turning towards him. "What time is it now? What is it you're actually doing right now? Who are you having this conversation with now? Imagine what would happen if you lost all concept of what now means. You would lose your understanding of all time related concepts. A person sense of self is derived from their memories and past experiences. If they were suddenly thrown into disarray."
"Then we would lose our very identities," Astrid finished.
"That is definitely chaos," said Valka grimly.
"I don't think I would even begin to describe it," said Ragnar.
"The Infinity Clock is hovering right above the Temple of Thor Ggrand Temple," said Stoick. "From what I understand their doctrine is heavily intertwined with it."
"According to legend, the Temple of Thor itself was founded by a group of survivors from the clock past chaos. They sealed away all of its pieces and forbid any discussion of its existence," Bjorn explained. "To this very day, it has remained a well-guarded secret known only the temple higher electrons. It commemorates magic, which is released every 100 years throughout history evildoers have sought to harness its power therefore I have a formal request, a job that I hope the Dragon Tail Guild will take on. Please stop this from happening, stop the Infinity Clock."
"Isn't that what we plan to do?" Snotlout frowned still scratching his head.
"Sure is," said Ragnar.
"And we can rescue Hiccup and Ruby at the same time," said Toothless.
Stoick nodded in agreement. "All right, we'll gladly take the job. I promise that will stop the Clock or die trying."
Ruby was in some kind of chamber and appear to be fastened to some sort of lens. In front of her were both Brain and Imitatia.
"The Infinity Ship rises again and soon we will spread chaos all across the land," said Brian. "Soon I shall complete my father's legacy as was originally intended. For you see you as he lay the groundwork and we merely followed his instructions. Of course, this would not have been possible if you had not tricked the Celestial Viking, Imitatia."
Ruby was still quite heartbroken after the revelation with Imitatia. "Sigrid, please, tell me why. Why did you do this to me?"
"My name is Imitatia," she said. "I am not Sigrid, get it through your thick skull."
"This Celestial Viking is the final piece to the puzzle," said Brian. "Now the never-ending nightmare can begin."
Meanwhile everyone was getting prepared to storm the Grand Temple in the Dragon Tail Guild.
"You realise that has kept the Infinity Clock sealed away all these years was actually the Anti-Link spells the Celestial Vikings were maintaining don't you?" said Bjorn.
"We heard about that," Ragnar nodded remembering what Valkyrie had done with that Celestial Viking. "That's why the Neo-Oracion Seis was targeting them. To sever those links, right?"
"Yes, but did you know that once their Body-Links were severed the Celestial Vikings are actually cursed to sleep for 100 years? Frozen in a kind of chrysalis state?" Bjorn asked.
"A chrysalis?" Ragnar blinked.
"What do you mean?" Snotlout asked.
In the Infinity Ship, Brain was explaining this to Ruby.
"Body-Link demand a tremendous amount of magic power and whenever an Anti-Link is severed the resulting reaction can causes time to slow down to a crawl for that Vikings mind and body. This puts them in a kind of sleeping state for 100 years. In essence, this sacrifice is what allows us to take control of the Infinity Clock."
"But their people?" Ruby yelled horrifyingly. "You can't do that to them!"
"Obviously I can."
The same Ruby was sick would have been an understatement.
Imitatia looked up at her. "Your friends fled for seven years, right?"
"Yes, but you're talking about 100 years!" Ruby yelled furiously. "That's too horrible to imagine. I know seven years might not sound longer but it was excruciating, it was so confusing and painful time kept going for everyone else but everyone else it stood still. You can never understand how it felt, that time was stolen from us forever. At the very least we had all our friends awaiting us when we finally woke up, but these people won't have anyone. Their loved ones will be gone."
"It's sad, but true," Brain admitted. "That's why it's a curse and now that same curse will befall you."
Ruby looked at Imitatia pleadingly. "Sigrid, our friendship was real to me I know. I never lied to you about that."
Imitatia approached her. "This is for your sake, Sister."
Ruby just stared at her. "You expect me to believe that you're doing this for my sake after you all of your lies? How could you?"
"Believe me or not, they were all just lies."
"We're you lying about my Dad? About me? Did you really see me as your Big Sister?" Ruby glared.
Imitatia looks slightly hurt. "Ruby…" She then looked away.
"Enough," said Brain. "As much as this is entertaining we have real work to do."
Imitatia nodded. "You're right. So let's begin."
"Of course, if you're ready." He then turned to Ruby. "Ruby Heartfull, the time has come to say goodbye."
At the Guildhall Bjorn was taking them outside where there was a large metal case on the front yard.
"I'm extremely grateful that you accept my request," he said. He then looked on Astrid. "Freyja, I have something especially for you."
"What is it?" Astrid asked curiously.
"Let me show you."
He then opened the container and sitting there was a very large hammer with the Temple of Thor emblem on it.
"It is an item that was discovered along with the clock hand at the excavation site," he explained. "It is believed to have been designed by the Chronicler and forged by the founders of the Temple of Thor. It is said to warn away evil, like the original Mjolnir."
Astrid grabbed a hammer and pulled it out of its container. It certainly looked extremely heavy, but Astrid was able to carry it would be greatest of ease.
"I'm certain that only you are the only one that is actually strong enough to wheel this weapon in the way that it was originally intended," said Bjorn.
"Thank you," said Astrid gratefully. "I'll do my best."
"You've got this Astrid," said Ragnar confidently.
"Of course, we'll do whatever we can to offer our assistance," said Bjorn. "Mainly by continuing our research on how to stop Real Nightmare."
"Thank you," said Stoick gratefully. "We appreciate the help."
"Any ideas on how we're going to attack these jerks?" Snotlout asked.
"Don't you worry," said Agatha holding out a card. "Help is on the way."
Meanwhile at the headquarters of the Viking Council, Alistair was looking down at the Surveillance Lacrima with one of his men.
"This is an excellent find. Very good work," he said.
"It's the only surveillance Lacrima we can locate," said his man. "It wasn't easy, but we were able to recover some of the footage from it as well."
"I see, can you show me this footage?" Alistair asked.
"Sir."
The man then extended his hand over the lacrima and an image began to form of the prison. Alistair then saw a priest on a platform making his way to one of the cells.
"This is the only known image of the priest that we know that regularly visited the Oracion Seis."
The priest stopped at the cell containing Cobra and then his head turned.
"Right there! Enhance the image!" Alistair ordered.
"Yes, sir."
The man then zoomed in on to the priest and upon seeing him Alistair's blood ran cold, because he knew the man. He had in fact met the man on a previous occasion, because it was none other than High Priest Vex, the man who had taken command of the Temple of Thor.
"By Thor," said the man before he too recognised him.
"By Thor is right," said Alistair horrified. "It was him all along, High Priest Vex. He's been working with them."
Hiccup meanwhile was setting up the canister on the cell wall.
"Okay that should just about do it," he said.
"Is on the gas magical though?" Speedfist asked.
"Trust me I there without before and in response I mixed some regular gas inside of it," said Hiccup. "In theory it should work, but now we just need to light it."
"I'll handle that part," said Gruffnut and reached into his pocket. He then pulled out a box of matches.
"How come no one took those off you?" Hiccup asked.
"They didn't seem to figure was important," said Gruffnut. "Besides you aim to see your canisters inside."
"Point," Hiccup shrugged.
"Only how are we going to light the thing?" Gruffnut asked.
"Oh, I've also got some oil in another canister," said Hiccup pulling out a second canister.
"Boy, these guys really need to step up their security," said Gruffnut.
"I don't do it in the next 30 seconds," said Hiccup.
Outside the Dragon Tail Guild, they were soon saw the Christina Advanced from Blue Pegasus appearing above them.
"Hey, is the Christina Advanced," said Merrill happily.
"Blue Pegasus, now that what I'm talking about," said Snotlout.
Suddenly jumping off the figurehead was none other than Olatrand and apparently he had to learn how to land on his two feet, because he clashed in the pavement.
"My beautiful face," he groaned.
"We're counting on this guy?" said Ragnar with a slightly sceptical voice.
"We need a ship to get to the Infinity Clock, unless you know how to fly it's the only way," said Agatha.
"I know, but can we have got another pilot?" Ragnar asked.
Stoick then approached him. "My son has been captured and the entire world is threatened, I could care less who pilots the damn ship."
"Understood, sir," said Ragnar slightly nervous.
"My predictions will be right on this time," said Agatha as the assault team began to board the Christina Advanced. "We're going to be very careful about who is going on the Christina Advanced, because we're gonna need a strong team here on the ground too."
Soon the Christina Advanced began to took off into the air heading towards the Grand Temple. Astrid was placed in command of the assault group which consisted of Ragnar, Merrill, Snotlout, Eret, Valka, Wartihog and the Exceeds.
"Comrades, an assault on the Infinity Clock is now ready to begin," said Olatrand standing at the bridge of the ship. "So away we go, man!"
Unfortunately, they didn't get very far when the entire ship struck and they started to lose height.
"Hey, I thought you knew how to fly this thing!" Snotlout yelled.
Astrid looked at Olatrand. "Is there a problem?"
"We've taken damage to the hull," said Olatrand completely confused.
"Stay here, me and Cloudjumper will check on it," said Valka.
"We'll be as quick as we can," said Cloudjumper and the two of them rushed out of the bridge.
"Oh, man," said Olatrand as he tried to keep the ship steady.
"Hey, I'll come with you!" Snotlout yelled following them.
When they made their way onto the deck they saw the smoke emanating from a hole in the hull.
"What do you think happened?" Snotlout asked.
"Looks like sabotage to me," said Cloudjumper. "I think we got a stowaway on board."
"You're right about that," said Valka.
The two of them turned and saw another hole on the deck which was large enough for a single person to squeeze through.
"But who can done this?" Snotlout asked.
"Someone who doesn't want us to reach the Infinity Clock," said Valka.
She then quickly sent something behind and turned only be knocked aside by a powerful force.
"Auntie Valka!" Snotlout cried.
"Valka!" Cloudjumper yelled.
He turned around and saw that appearing right in front of him was none other than Racer, who remained on all fours.
"It's the Neo-Oracion Seis," said Snotlout.
"That's Racer," said Valka winced.
"We have to take them out before he destroys the ship," said Cloudjumper.
"Just leave this to me," said Snotlout.
"You will fall, fool," said Racer and he vanished.
"He's gone," said Snotlout looking around wildly.
Suddenly there were small explosions indicating that Racer was striking the ship at full speed.
Snotlout then performed his iron armour and charged at Racer the moment he reappeared. "You're going down!" he roared.
However, Racer vanished and attacked Snotlout multiple times within a few seconds. Snotlout then collapsed onto the deck already worn out without even swinging a single punch.
"To slow," said Racer as he appeared behind him.
Valka then walked up with her staff in hand. "You made a mistake," she said glaring at him.
"Are you as fast as I am?" Racer smirked.
"You want to see," said Valka spinning her staff over her head she then charged at him. "Cloudjumper with me!"
"You got it," said Cloudjumper something in his wings and grabbed her shirt.
Valka then tackled Racer and the three of them flew off the deck of the ship.
"Valka!" Snotlout yelled rushing to the edge.
"Cloudjumper and I can handle Racer by ourselves, just save my son!" she yelled as they flew down towards the ground.
On the bridge, the rest of the team saw Valka and Cloudjumper flyby with Racer.
"Did you just say that?" Merrill asked.
"It was Racer," said Ragnar.
"And Valka," Astrid breathed.
"Along with Cloudjumper," Toothless added.
Ragnar then turned to Olatrand. "We need to help them out."
"I'm sorry, but we can't right now," said Olatrand.
Snotlout then re-entered the bridge. "Let my Aunt Valka take care of that guy."
"What?" Ragnar stared.
"You sure?" Merrill asked.
"Yeah, we've got to keep going," said Snotlout. "Hurry!"
"All right, but we need to make some repairs first," said Olatrand noticing that the Christina Advanced was still descending. "Everyone lend a hand!"
"On it," said Ragnar as everyone rushed towards the deck.
Astrid however leaned against the window look down on the ground knowing that Valka was battling against Racer as they spoke.
"Just be careful, please," she pleaded.
Valka and Racer were still plummeting down to the ground. Cloudjumper then pulled out of the dive and Racer continue to fall to the ground.
She then spun her staff over her head. "Sky Dragon's Wind Slice!" she roared.
She then swung her staff sending a powerful gust of wind down on top of Racer causing him to crash into the ground and much faster rate.
"Nice move," said Cloudjumper. "He may be fast, but he can't fly and he most certainly can't dodge in midair."
"Stay mindful, he will not go down that easy," Valka warned.
She was right, Racer had already recovered and peered on a stone ledge behind. Valka turned and saw that he was gazing up at the Christina Advanced and realise that it was still low enough in the sky for him to hop back onto.
Racer then jumped into the air and Valka flew back up to stop him.
"Stop!" she yelled swinging a punch of wind that him.
However, he quickly blocked it vanished and reappeared next to her swinging a fist at him. Fortunately she was able to block it and swung a powerful kick towards him, but yet again he vanished and reappeared behind her on a stone ledge.
"You're in the way," he said and quickly banished before she could turn her head.
He then started to zigzag through the canyon and then slammed both legs into her chest. The impact was powerful enough to send both she and Cloudjumper line into the canyon wall. Racer then appeared directly in front of the rubble.
However, there was a powerful gust of wind that blew the debris away. Now hovering in front of him was Valka and she looked back already.
"Let's see if you can out run the wind!" she yelled and charged at him. "Sky Dragon's Tornado Claw!"
She then slammed the fifth of wind down on top of him and he barely had time to dodge the attack. The attack however was strong enough to destroy the blockage he had been standing on indicating how strong she was.
Racer then began zooming around like a wild animal across the canyon and Valka began to gave chase.
"Be safe my charges, please come back in one piece," said Stoick as he stood in front of the Guildhall.
Helga then ran outside joining the others. "Hey, Brila is not here," she said.
Agatha quickly turned and stared. "She's not?"
"Is there a problem?" Stoick asked looking at Gobber, noticing that his old friend was quite troubled.
"Well, her attacks have been happening more frequently over the past several days," said Gobber.
"That's not good," said Stoick.
Brila was wondering through the mountain wilderness for she could still hear a voice in our head guiding her towards it.
Meanwhile Hiccup had just finished preparing the little explosive that he and Gruffnut prepared.
"Okay, light it up!" said Hiccup.
"With pleasure," said Gruffnut and lit the oil with a match.
Immediately the flame went to the oil towards the capsule Hiccup had placed in the wall and immediately exploded starting a fire. At the same time Hiccup and Gruffnut ran towards the cell bars and began yelling as loudly as they could.
"There's a fire, hurry! Help us! You've got to get out of here!" Hiccup yelled at the top of his voice.
"This is a false alarm!" Gruffnut yelled.
Nearby was Valyya and she could hear Hiccup's voice and she could see smoke close by.
"That voice," she stared and saw several guards running past herself towards the smoke.
The guard reached the cell and saw the fire and Hiccup and Gruffnut yelling at top of their voices.
"We need an Extinguisher Lacrima!" said a guard.
"Go get one now!" said the captain. He then turned the prisoners. "We'll let you out for a minute so just calm down."
The captain then extended his hand and instantly the bars on the cell began to melt away.
"Now get moving!" said a guard.
"Relax," said Hiccup.
Then suddenly he punched the captain across the face and slammed his prosthetic leg into the gutter of the guard behind him knocking the two of them out cold.
"You're certainly stronger than the last time I saw you," said Gruffnut.
"That was like 15 years ago," Hiccup reminded as he found in Inferno strapped to the Captain's belt and retreated. Hiccup then saw more guards heading their way. "We need to get moving."
"Leave them to me," said Gruffnut cracking his knuckles.
He suddenly vanished and the guards began looking around wildly for him. Then a few seconds later something invisible hit them knocking them out cold and Gruffnut reappeared.
"You're not the only one who has improved," said Gruffnut with a slight smile.
"So I see," said Hiccup. "Now we need to find Ruby ASSP."
They started making their way across the prison.
"Hold on!" said a familiar voice.
Hiccup start and then saw Valyya in a cell much to his surprise. "Valyya? What in the name of Thor are you doing here?"
"Clearly she got caught doing something wrong," said Gruffnut folding his arms.
"Please take me with you," Valyya pleaded.
Meanwhile Vex was in the chambers of the Archon when a guard rushed over towards him and whispered something in his ear.
Vex looks slightly impressed. "Oh, so the Fire Viking has escaped."
"What are your orders, sir?"
Vex turned to the Archon with a smile. "I'm afraid he's already too late. Real Nightmare, is on the verge of activating."
Meanwhile in the Infinity Ship, Ruby began opening her eyes. However, they were completely lifeless as if she was in some sort of trance.
"Now the never-ending nightmare can finally begin!" Brain announced. "Sweet chaos, suffocate this world with your embrace!"
Suddenly the sound of the Infinity Clock began to chime and the chains attaching the ship to the continent began to shudder.
