Snotlout made his way to the shrine and saw Selena standing at the altar and bowed.
"Wrinkly said me here to get you," he said. "The name is Snotlout Jorgenson."
"And I'm Selena," she said.
Meanwhile Wrinkly was in a limousine and had just stopped in front of the Kaiba Corp building.
"Welcome to Kaiba Corp," said a man in a black suit.
He soon led him to Kaiba's office, who had his back to him. Kaiba was a twenty-eight-year-old man with a very stern look and wore a white suit.
"Greetings," he said turning to look at Wrinkly. "I take it that you're Wrinkly." He then noticed the pure white blazer. "Nice outfit."
"Thank you for seeing me," said Wrinkly. "I know you're a busy man. It's an honour."
"Let's cut to the chase," said Kaiba. "Why are you here? I understand you lead a powerful organisation and I must say that intrigues me, but what you want from my company?"
"Everything I heard about you is true," said Wrinkly. "You are indeed shrewd, now then, we're both men of business and so I have a proposal for you. And trust me Mr Kaiba, I have the means to make it worth your while."
Kaiba looked amused.
"All I ask is for the exclusive use of your Kaiba Land amusement park."
"That can be arranged… for the right price of course."
"You won't be disappointed," Wrinkly assured. "And thank you so much for your time. Good day, sir."
Kaiba's men then led Wrinkly out of the office.
Kaiba then looked to one of his men. "Keep an eye on that guy and find out what he's up to."
Wrinkly was soon sitting back on his limousine and was driving away from the tower. Then appearing on the screen was both Astrid and Heather.
"We are waiting for your command, sir," said Astrid.
"Shall we proceed?" Heather asked.
"Yes, move forward as planned," Wrinkly instructed. "I'm ready to test Hiccup."
Meanwhile, Hiccup and Ragnar were looking for the city for any trace of Solomon.
"Mr Solomon!" Hiccup yelled.
"Where are you?" Ragnar called.
They then heard a groaning alleyway and stopped and there they found Solomon Lane in the garbage, with his headband missing.
"There you are," said Hiccup.
"Huh?" he groaned. "What am I doing over here?"
"What happened to you, Mr Solomon?" Ragnar asked as he and Hiccup helped him up.
"Two young lads attacked me and stole my bandanna," said Solomon. "I'm having a bad hair day."
"Hiccup? Ragnar?" said a voice.
The two boys looked up and saw Eret looking down at them.
"Eret?" Ragnar blinked.
"Mr Solomon this is Eret the Trapper," said Hiccup.
"I know, I follow professional duelling," said Solomon. "I'm a big fan."
"Who knew I had such old fans," said Eret.
"Like who?" Solomon blinked.
"Uh… Anyway," said Eret wanted to change the subject. "Something weird is going down."
"That's the understatement of the year," said Hiccup.
"Then I take it you can see the duel monsters spirits and I'm not going nuts," said Eret. "There are four them and it seems as if their standing guard or something and then not holograms. Somehow I can since they are real."
"They are real," said Hiccup. "But since when could you see monster spirits?"
"Spirits?" Solomon blinked.
"Well, mean gramps will have to take your word for it, because all I can say are dark clouds," said Ragnar.
Eret eyes then turned onto one of the buildings in the distance. "Wait, is that a duel up there?"
"Where?" Hiccup asked.
"There… on that building," Eret pointed.
Hiccup and Ragnar narrowed their eyes and indeed they could see monster cards on top of the tower. Two of them they recognised as monarch cards, but it was the further got their attention. It was Dark Tyranno.
"Isn't that Dark Tyranno?" Hiccup stared. "Hold on, that means Wartihog is duelling."
"And judging by the way those cards are positioned it looks like it's some sort of tag duel," said Ragnar. "Meaning that Fishlegs is with him."
"Yeah, but who are they facing?" Eret asked. "And more importantly why?"
"I don't know, but I'm going to find out," said Hiccup.
"Right behind you," said Ragnar.
Then the two boys and rushed over towards the building.
"I'm confused," said Solomon as he ran after them. "But what else is new?"
Eret snorted and followed them, but chose instead to walk instead of run.
"Why are we always running?" said Solomon.
Meanwhile on the tower, Fishlegs and Wartihog were very well against Frost and Thunder. However, their opponents in be more focused on each other than them.
Fishlegs: 3500
Wartihog: 1100
Frost: 4000
Thunder: 4000
"Quit stealing my Thunder!" Thunder snapped. "We're supposed to be on the same team."
"Dude, you got all learn to chill," said Frost. "I'm just trying to have me a good time, yo. So step off. Besides, I can put the freeze on these chumps without you."
"You wish Frosty," Thunder spat. "I've always been a power behind this operation and you know it."
"What? Let's see who beats their opponent first. What do you say Thunder Kid?"
"You're on Snowball!"
"I tell you what let us go and you guys can duel," said Wartihog.
"No joke," said Fishlegs. "For real. I'm getting sick of hearing you two."
"Hey get a lot of this, bro," Thunder smirked. "The big husky kid over here got an attitude."
"These prep school duel punks are all the same. They think that the hottest thing since jalapeno until someone cools them down."
"Not quite," said Wartihog.
"Oh yeah? Then why don't you put your card for your mouth is Sergeant!" Thunder smirked. "Because I've got to say boys so far I'm not impressed."
Fishlegs glared.
"What's wrong? I hurt your feelings?"
"Just watch and learn," said Fishlegs as he drew. "I summon Gyroid in defence mode."
Then appearing in a defensive position was Fishlegs' helicopter with a face. (ATK: 1000/ DEF: 1000)
"Is that the best you can do soldier?" said Wartihog. "What's your strategy?"
"I have no idea, but I better think of something and do it fast," said Fishlegs.
Frost smirked. "Hey boys, is it me or is there a chill in the air?" he said as he drew. The then inserted the card he drew into his spell and trap card zone. "I'll toss this facedown. Now, look out, because I'm switching Mobius to attack mode."
Mobius then stood up.
"Mobius! Represent, take his dino with Ice Lance!" Frost commanded.
Mobius then formed a spear of pure ice and tossed it straight at Dark Tyranno, destroying him instantly.
Fishlegs: 3500
Wartihog: 800
Frost: 4000
Thunder: 4000
"Combat time. Ready?" said Wartihog as he drew. He looked at what he drew. "Nice. I activate my Card of Reversal spell. I don't mean a brag or anything, but this is one heck of a card fellas. Now for each face up card on your side of the field I get to draw another new card and I count four."
"Attention troops, this is your sergeant," said Wartihog as he draw four new cards. "Element Saurus reporting for duty!"
Then appearing on the field was a dinosaur holding the orb in its claw with strange markings across its body. (ATK: 1500/ DEF: 1200)
"He's kind a weak," Fishlegs pointed out.
"Hey, at ease," Wartihog snapped. "I'm an expert strategist, soldier. I know what I'm doing."
"Mad props for the self-confidence, the geek is right," said Frost. "Dinos and ice just don't mix. Sorry tough guy, but there's a reason those things became extinct. My Castle cut your lizard down to size."
Indeed thanks to the cold air Element Saurus was indeed weakening. (ATK: 1500-1000/ DEF: 1200-700)
"Check this out, my Mobius is so dope he even has his own trap card," said Frost as he pressed the button on his duel disk. "It's called Mobius Galatia and as long as it's on the field your prehistoric pipsqueak is frozen in place."
Wartihog watched as his monster was forced into attack mode and an ice began to cover his feet, trapping him in place.
"Well, fine," said Wartihog. "I'll toss these down."
Wartihog then said two cards face down on the field.
"Are you done?" Fishlegs stared. "Don't tell me you're calling to turn already."
"A twerp, you should be worrying about what's in front of you not what's going on behind ya," said Thunder as he drew. "Because the fact is your Machine deck is powerless against mine."
Fishlegs glared at him.
"But enough talk, just have a look," said Thunder as he held out the spell card. "I play System Down. It removes all Machine monster is on the field and in the Graveyard from the game. So, no more playing with your little toy aeroplanes. It costs me a grand, but believe me it's well worth the price."
Fishlegs: 3500
Wartihog: 800
Frost: 4000
Thunder: 3000
Fishlegs then watched his Gyroid disappeared from the field and seconds later his Truckroid shot out from his Graveyard.
"And now Zaborg can attack you directly," said Thunder. "Here goes… Rolling Thunder!"
Zaborg fired a bolt of lightning from his hands and struck Fishlegs.
Fishlegs: 1100
Wartihog: 800
Frost: 4000
Thunder: 3000
"Fishlegs?" Wartihog gasped as he saw Fishlegs falling to his knees. "You all right?"
"Oh, yeah," said Fishlegs in quite dazed. "I've never felt better."
"If you like that you're going to love this," said Thunder as he placed a spell card in his spell and trap card slot. "My Rampage Condenser! Now if there is a Thunder-Type monster on my side of the field and you're dumb enough to attack me with a Machine card then you lose 500 life points."
"Looks like you're not doing much better than me," said Wartihog.
"Gee thanks," said Fishlegs. "Wait a look on the bright side."
Thunder scoffed. "You two are pathetic, but hey… that's why you're just bait."
"What you mean by bait?" Fishlegs demanded.
"What do you think?" Frost smirked. "The only reason we're duelling you posers is because we want your friend. See, we're gonna take you with us and then we're going to use you to lure Hiccup straight to Wrinkly."
"Guess again!" Wartihog glared. "You'll never get your hands on our pal!"
"Really? I disagree, just take a look around you punk getting schooled left and right. It's hopeless!"
"This means war," Wartihog glared.
"Right on, Sarge," Fishlegs nodded.
The two of them then stood back to back from one another.
"Ten four!" said Wartihog. "We're going to have to work together…"
"To save Hiccup," Fishlegs finished. "From here on in, I've got your back. Just promise me you got mine too."
"You have my word," said Wartihog. "So, soldier, are you ready for some serious combat?"
"Yes, sir," Fishlegs nodded. "Let's do this. Now commencing Operation: Protect Hiccup!"
"Good luck, private," said Wartihog.
"You ready, boys. My move," said Fishlegs as he drew. "I play Stealthroid!"
Suddenly appearing on the field was a stealth plane. (ATK: 1200/ DEF: 0)
"Then I'll activate the spell card, Training Field," said Fishlegs placing a field spell in his field card slot.
Soon the entire area changed to a cartoonlike driving training track.
"Wait, you're kidding right?" said Thunder. "You must be. Are you actually planning on attacking now?"
"That's right," said Fishlegs.
"How unfortunate," Thunder smirked. "It's time to find out why they call me Thunder!"
A bolt of electricity shot out of his spell card and struck Fishlegs.
Fishlegs: 600
Wartihog: 800
Frost: 4000
Thunder: 3000
"Once you attacked me you'll lose!" Thunder smirked. "Just like a thunderstorm, I leave a path of destruction where ever I go."
"I've got a surprise for you," said Fishlegs weakly. "I never said the target of my attack would be you."
Thunder just stared at him.
"Surprise, Thunder, I'm attacking Element Saurus!" Fishlegs announced.
Thunder and Frost just stared at him in bewilderment.
"But why?" Thunder cried.
"Thanks to my Training Field, I have the ability to attack my own monsters," Fishlegs smirked. "And the best part is it doesn't get destroyed. Stealthroid attack!"
Stealthroid then fired it at the burners and struck Element Saurus and Wartihog was struck by the heat of the attack.
Fishlegs: 600
Wartihog: 600
Frost: 4000
Thunder: 3000
Thunder laughed. "You really are pathetic! Attacking your own teammate!"
"Hold on, I'm not done," said Fishlegs with a smile on his face. "Stealthroid's got a special effect. After it attacks I have the power to destroy any spell or trap card on the field. So, Mobius Galatia you're out!"
"No way," said Frost as he watched in horror as his trap card will turn into thousands of pixels.
"So, Wartihog's monster is free," said Fishlegs as the ice at Element Saurus' feet began to melt. "There's more, thank the Training Field's other effect my Stealthroid gained 300 attack points."
Stealthroid points increased due to the field card effect. (ATK: 1200-1500)
"Impressive manoeuvre," said Wartihog acknowledged. "Now chew on this, son." He then revealed one of his facedown cards to be a trap card. "It's called Counterattack. You see the first rule of combat is this, when your troops are attacked you always counter-attack.
"And this is exactly what this here trap card let me do. Get it, now my Element Saurus can strike back by attacking Stealthroid."
"No way!" Frost and Thunder yelled in unison.
"Afraid so," said Wartihog. "Fire away boy!"
Element Saurus raised his mouth and blasted Stealthroid, but the explosion slammed into Wartihog, since Stealthroid still had more attack points
Fishlegs: 600
Wartihog: 100
Frost: 4000
Thunder: 3000
"All right, you know what to do," said Wartihog looking at Fishlegs.
Fishlegs nodded. "To start, Stealthroid's ability activates! So that means… you're Condenser spell is out of here!"
Thunder watched in horror as the spell card shattered into a thousand pixels.
"Good work," Wartihog nodded. "Now Element Saurus attack points go up. Talk about a nice comeback."
Element Saurus began to glow as his attack points increased. (ATK: 1000-1300)
"That's nuts!" Thunder yelled. "There attacking each other!"
"Yo, but somehow it's actually making them stronger!" Frost yelled. "But that's impossible to pull off… Even these guys are ultimate tagteam or you and I are getting played, bro."
Then he noticed something on his Reflector Bit, Fishlegs and Wartihog were able to see each other's hand.
"Yo, check Reflectors!" he yelled.
"Oh, snap!" Thunder yelled. "These no good punks can totally see each other's cards! They're cheating!"
Fishlegs smiled nervously.
"Well, would you look at that?" said Wartihog with a small grin.
"I'll lay two cards facedown," said Fishlegs placing two cards in his spell and trap card zone quickly. "And that's all she wrote."
"It's payback time!" Frost yelled as he drew. "I'm going to put you on ice, yo! Ready, take this! Mobius attack… Ice Lance!"
Mobius then formed an ice spear in his hand and tossed it straight at Element Saurus.
"Ice ice baby," Frost smirked.
"Hold that thought," said Fishlegs as he press a button on his duel disk. "Because I activate Dark Computer Virus! Which sends my Stealthroid to the Graveyard."
Stealthroid then vanished from the field.
"And thanks to my sacrifice I can use one of your spell. So I activate Side Attack, which means our team's opponents which!"
Suddenly Wartihog and Fishlegs switch positions so now Fishlegs was facing against frost and Wartihog against Thunder. This also meant that Element Saurus now switch positions on the duelling field.
"Oh no!" Frost cried.
"Afraid so," said Fishlegs. "And now Wartihog get his Dinosaur back. Sorry Iceman, but this time I flipped the script. Take away Element Saurus!"
Since Element Saurus was no facing against Frost this meant that all of the points he lost returned to him. (ATK: 1300-1800/ DEF: 700-1200)
"Ah, please," said Frost. "I'll turn him into prehistoric popsicle. Go, Ice Lance!"
Mobius's attack was now heading straight towards Fishlegs, who had no monsters out.
"I'm fortifying with this, my Jurassic Impact trap card!" Wartihog yelled revealing his facedown card.
Suddenly Element Saurus vanish from the field.
"All right troops, listen up. Since I have fewer life points then the enemy every monster on the field is destroyed and each monster that is dismissed the command of that monster loses 1000 life points."
"Oh man!" Frost and Thunder yelled.
"Storm the battlefield!" Wartihog yelled.
Suddenly meteors rain down across the field striking Frost and Thunder's monsters and with Mobius no longer on the field Frost's ice castle began to melt as the entire field got covered in lava.
However, the strangest thing was that both Fishlegs and Wartihog began to regain life points.
Fishlegs: 1800
Wartihog: 1300
Frost: 2000
Thunder: 1000
"What's the deal, man?" Thunder yelled. "How did you get all those extra points?"
"It's a prep school trick," said Fishlegs as he showed them a trap card. "When my friend over here use Jurassic Impact, I decided to activate a little trap card of my own. It's called Ring of Life and to use it I had to destroy the monster on the field. Remember Element Saurus? Surprise, I was the one who took him out not you. And thanks to this the destroyed monster's defence points were automatically added to our life points. Move. That's how we do it."
"And one more thing, gents," said Wartihog. "Once my Jurassic Impact clears the field, each player has to go one full turn without so much as summoning a single monster."
He then drew from his deck. "All right, Fishlegs this is our chance."
"This is lame," said Thunder as he drew. "Since we can't summon any monsters I'll throw these down."
He then placed three facedown cards on his side the field.
"I'm up now," said Fishlegs as he drew. "Pass."
"Figures," said Frost as he drew. He looked at the card he drew and recognised it automatically as the trap card Selena gave him. "Well, I'll lay this facedown and give you a shot."
The lava then began to dry up on the field return to normal.
"Well looky here," said Wartihog. "The field is back. So that means I can get this battle going again by summoning some troops. Here we go."
He then drew. "I'll start by playing Ultra Evolution! Phase one, I remove Dyna Base and Dark Tyranno from his hand and Graveyard." He then pulled out his deck. "Phase two, I play a new dino from my deck. Now, who will at me? I know, Super Conductor Tyranno!"
Suddenly appearing on the field was a Tyrannosaurus rex covered in armour (ATK: 3300/ DEF: 1400)
"Ah, come on!" Thunder groaned. "3300 points!"
"And you don't have any monsters do you?" said Wartihog with a smile. "You know what that means! I can attack you directly!"
Super Conductor Tyranno then opened his mouth and began to form energy inside it. He then fired a beam directly at Thunder.
"Just what I needed, so I can play this," said Thunder as he pressed the button on his duel disk. "Lightning Talisman trap card! And it negate your attack!"
"It does?" Wartihog stared.
"Yeah, but that's just the calm before the storm, pal. Because all three of you need to draw now and then you each lose 400 points for every card in your hand."
"Sam Hill!" said Wartihog.
"Oh man!" Fishlegs stared.
"What?" Frost roared.
Super Conductor Tyranno then struck the trap card and then it shot lightning across the field striking Wartihog, Fishlegs and Frost as they each drew one card from the deck.
Fishlegs: 200
Wartihog: 500
Frost: 1200
Thunder: 1000
"There's more," said Thunder as he drew. He looked at what he drew and saw the trap card Selena gave him. 'If the card Selena gave me. If I play this bad boy I would win the duel in like two seconds. The only problem is using its effect would wipe out my life points.'
Instead he press a button on his duel disk. "All right, I activate Monster Reincarnation! So I toss a card into my Graveyard to bring back my Thunder Knight in defence mode."
He sent Serena's car to the Graveyard retrieved his monster and plated on the field in a defensive position.
"But I'll save the real devastation for my next turn."
"We'll see," said Fishlegs as he drew. He then looked at Frost. 'Just what I need, Iceface doesn't have any monsters in play. So, I can end this right now."
He then held out a spell card in his hand. "I activate, Burial from a Different Dimension! Now the two monsters you removed from the game come back to my Graveyard."
He then sent Gyroid and Truckroid back into his Graveyard.
"But that's not all, next I summon Expressroid in attack mode," said Fishlegs plane the card he had just summoned.
Then appearing on the field was a modern express train with a face. (ATK: 400/ DEF: 1600)
"And now I've got Expressroid in play I can pick two cards from my grave and bring them back to my hand," said Fishlegs. He then pulled out from his Graveyard Stealthroid and Truckroid. "And I choose Stealthroid and Truckroid. Then I'll play my Vehicroid Connection Zone spell.
"Now I confuse my four Vehicroids together to form a new one. Ready boys? Expressroid, Stealthroid, Drillioid and Truckroid!" Fishlegs yelled as his three monsters appeared on the field right next to Expressroid and then they began to enter into a vortex. "It's fusion time! So merged to become… Super Vehicroid—Stealth Union!"
Then appearing on the field was a massive robot that towered over everyone. It looked as if all four Vehicroid had merged together to form it. Drillioid had become the legs, Stealthroid the body, Expressroid the shoulders and Truckroid the head. (ATK: 3600/ DEF: 3000)
"That's a whole lot of points, yo," said Frost.
"I'm not done," said Fishlegs. "Because my new friend had an awesome special ability and it goes like this. I can choose any other monster on the field and fuse it together with my Super Vehicroid!"
Fishlegs looked at Warithog. "Hey, Sarge. Mind if I borrow your Super Conductor Tyranno for a sec? It's for good cause."
"Soldier, he's yours," said Wartihog.
Super Conductor Tyranno then vanished and began to fuse his power with Super Vehicroid.
"The ultimate dinosaur joins up with the ultimate machine," said Warithog.
"That's right," said Fishlegs. "So check out Super Vehicroid—Rex Union!"
Super Vehicroid now had scaly arms and legs in the face of Tyrannosaurus rex on his chest.
"If you think he looks cool wait until you see his moves," said Fishlegs. "Because this guy's got all the strength of a Dinosaur and the brains of a Machine. Plus, he can attack more than once by halfing his attack points."
"They ain't cool," said Frost and Thunder together.
Super Vehicroid then aimed his two fists directly at both Frost and Thunder and they began to spin. (ATK: 3600-1800)
"All right, boys! You ready for this!" Fishlegs cried.
"Attack!" Wartihog commanded.
Super Vehicroid then fired his two fists directly at both Frost and Thunder's Thunder Knight.
"All right, if I don't act quickly I'll lose this duel," said Frost as he pressed a button on his duel disk. "I'll activate Mirror of Duality!"
"Easy, that a pretty extreme card to throw down!" said Thunder.
"You know me Thunder," Frost laughed as the mirror appeared next to him. "Extreme is my middle name. This is gonna cost me 1000 life points, but then every monster on the field guess destroyed and every other player loses 500 points each one is destroyed."
Frost then groaned as a dark entity exited from him and entered into the mirror.
Fishlegs: 200
Wartihog: 500
Frost: 200
Thunder: 1000
Then suddenly a dark silhouette of a woman exited from the mirror and rose above them. Suddenly it dissipated it thousands of shadows that struck every monster on the field and Fishlegs and Wartihog groaned in pain as they got struck by the shadows.
Thunder gestured in horror as the shadows headed straight towards him. "What's the deal man?" he yelled as the shadows struck him.
Fishlegs: 0
Wartihog: 0
Frost: 200 (Winner!)
Thunder: 0
Then everyone apart from Frost fell to the ground.
Frost simply laughed at the holograms vanished. "Sorry Thunder, but I heard there was a cold front moving in and you all got caught in the crosswinds."
Hiccup and the others were running through the streets and then suddenly Hiccup noticed the four spirits that were guarding the city had vanished in the sky began to clear.
"Look," said Hiccup.
"Yeah, it seems that storm suddenly cleared up," said Eret.
"This is either very good or very bad," said Ragnar.
"I would go for bad myself," said a voice. They turned and saw Frost standing on the other side of the road. "What are boys?"
"Who are you?" Hiccup demanded.
"Chill out," said Frost. "You can call me Frost. You guys look lost, can I help?"
"Maybe," said Eret narrowing his eyes. "Our friends were here. Have you seen them?"
Hiccup looked at them. "You don't think?"
"I know exactly where they are," Frost laughed as snow began to fall. "And right now you're getting colder. Think higher altitude."
"Start with the mind games and tell us where they are!" Ragnar demanded.
Suddenly a fierce storm blew in as Frost laughed and then he vanished into thin air.
"He's gone," said Solomon.
"What are we dealing with here?" Hiccup frowned.
