A long awaited New chapter! (Sorry)

"Guys, we've been searching the whole castle for you, I have to tell you all something!" Merida said out of breath as her and Hiccup ran into Jack, Elsa, Anna, and Kristoph.

"Sorry but we're busy right now!" Jack said. "We can't find Hans and we don't want him to escape!"

"Hans?" Merida asked.

"By any chance did he have red hair and long sideburns...?" Hiccup said.

"Yes! You saw him?" Anna said in an excited state as she shook Merida back and forth.

"Stop shaking me lass!" Merida laughed. "We bumped into him at the front gates, he was running towards the forest."

"We have to catch him!" Elsa said, and they all took off running.

When they reached the forest Jack and Anna argued about which way to go but the didn't notice Merida and Hiccup crouching on the ground to examine the dirt. "The footsteps are leading this way." Merida stated suddenly and everyone turned and stared at them.

"You guys forget that we spend like half our time in the woods." Hiccup said as he brushed his dirty hands off on the leg of his pants.

"Ok, lead the way dragon boy!" Jack said, earning a glare from Merida who didn't appreciate his nicknames for everyone.

The gang followed the footprints through the forest until they arrived at an especially dark cave.

"Do you think he's in there?" Anna said nervously.

"I think he is." A voice came from the darkness of the cave, earning a shriek from Anna who was now hiding behind Elsa.

Hans stepped out of the shadows with an evil grin on his face. "Too bad you freed Elsa from my spell, if you hadn't I may have let her live." Hans said to Jack. "Just kidding, none of you were ever going to live."

"That's pretty brave talk for someone whose outnumbered." Kristoph growled.

"Outnumbered?" Hans said, folding his hands behind his back. "What ever made you think I was outnumbered?"

Two shadowy figures appeared beside him and there was a collective gasp from the group.

"Who..." Anna whispered.

"Pitch!" Jack growled at the familiar figure as he got into a defensive stance.

"Now Jack, is that anyway to greet an old friend?" Pitch laughed.

"What do you want?" Jack yelled at Pitch.

"All I've ever wanted." He replied as he grabbed Gothels waist and pulled her to his side. "To rule the world." Gothel looked up at him and kissed him on the cheek whilst maintaining a wicked looking grin on her face. "And now with the help of the Portals," Pitch continued. "We can use the army I've gathered to take over not just this world, but all of them!"

As he said that hundreds more shadows emerged from the cave. There were soldiers along with other figures, all of which were made of a thick black smoke.

"Guys, I think we should run!" Anna screamed as the soldiers charged towards them. Everyone ran for the tree line but the army soon began to overtake them. Elsa and Jack stopped running suddenly and turned around.

"Why are you stopping?" Anna yelled at them.

"Anna I need you and Kristoph to get back to Arendelle and tell them to send reinforcements." Elsa said firmly.

"No, not without you!" Anna cried as she ran to hug her sister.

"I need you to do this for me Anna. It will be ok, we can hold them off until you get back." Elsa told her.

"Alright." Anna agreed with a sorrowful expression on her face. Her and Kristoph began to race towards Arendelle once more but then Anna stopped and turned around quickly. "Jack!" She shouted. "Take care of my sister!"

"I will!" Jack shouted back to her as she began to run once more.

"Hey where did Hiccup and Merida go?" He asked in confusion as he turned in circles.

"Up here!" They heard Hiccup call out from above them. They looked up in confusion and saw that Merida and Hiccup had climbed a nearby tree and were sitting in the branches with their weapons ready. "It was her idea, not mine!" Hiccup said sarcastically.

"Hey it is a great plan and you know it!" Merida said with mock anger as she jokingly shoved Hiccup. "And.. Oh here they come!" She interrupted herself as she pulled her bow string back.

"You ready?" Elsa asked Jack as she got into a defensive stance.

"Always." He replied with a playful smile.

The first group of soldiers made their way over the hill and were quickly dealt with. Jack and Elsa worked as a team, fighting back to back to quickly take them out while Merida shot anyone who snuck up on them. After spotting Merida concealed in the branches some of the soldiers tried to climb the tree to get to her but Hiccup dropped large branches to knock them down.

Soon however, they were becoming overwhelmed by the large amount of soldiers surrounding them. It seemed that they had been fighting for nearly an hour but there was still no sign of Anna or Kristoph.

"I'm going to get Toothless." Hiccup said, turning towards Merida. "Will you be fine on your own?" He asked.

"Please Hiccup, you know I can take care of myself!" She laughed, trying to hid the concern on her face. "Just be careful down there, ok? I want you to come back."

"I will." Hiccup replied. Their lips locked in a brief kiss before Hiccup quickly descended the tree, punching and knocking out 15 soldiers on his way down. When he made it to the ground he reached into his pocket and pulled out his sword. After lighting it he fought his way through a crowd of soldiers and sprinted towards the portal.

Merida watched him run until she could no longer see him. Somewhere, in the back of her mind, she thought to herself that this could possibly be the last glimpse that she would ever have of him. Shaking her head she quickly pushed that thought away and focused once more on the fight at hand. She quickly turned around, bow string drawn back, when she heard the sound of leaves rustling behind her. Her eyes widened and she gasped slightly when she saw Heather lounging on the branch directly behind hers.

"You seem distracted, what's wrong? Afraid lover boy won't come back?" Heather said, not even glancing in Merida's direction.

Merida aimed and shot her arrow. It flew with precision towards Heathers neck but just before it made impact Heather reached out and caught it between her fingers.

"Pathetic." Heather said in a board voice as she threw the arrow to the ground below.

Merida's face turned bright red as she felt an uncontrollable anger rise up in her. Dropping her bow she pounced towards Heather, causing both of them to fall from the tree and onto the ground below. Both girls scrambled to their feet, ignoring the pain caused by the fall.

"How are you going to fight me without your bow?" Heather taunted.

Merida reached into her pocket with a smirk and pulled out what looked like a sword handle. Heathers eyes widened as Merida pushed a button and it extended into a long sword.

"But..how..?" Heather stuttered.

"Hiccup made it for me." Merida explained as she swung the sword around. "Did you really think I was only skilled with one type of weapon?" Merida asked as she pointed her sword towards Heather. "Give up now and I'll let you live."

Instead of replying, Heather put her hand in the air and waved it around. Thick black smoke surrounded it and when the smoke dispersed she was holding a sword of her own. Merida did not hesitate in running towards her, ready to strike, but Heather blocked her attack.

"You'll never beat me!" Heather said as their swords clashed once more. "I'm going to kill you, and when Hiccup comes back I'm going to kill him too."

"I am not going to let that happen!" Merida said out of breath. She saw an opening and knocked Heathers feet right out from under her. When Heather tried to reach for her sword Merida kicked it out of her reach.

Merida touched Heathers chest with the tip of her sword.

"You've been beaten , now give up!" Merida shouted.

"No." Heather said with a wicked grin as she snapped her fingers and disappeared into a cloud of smoke.
