It was a foggy morning and Snotlout was outside the campus and in front of him was a black haired man in a suit.
"You got a lot of guts taking on a guy like me," he said.
Snotlout snorted. "I was going to say the same thing, because if you think I'm just another inexperienced student guess again."
The man laughed. "Do you want to talk about experience, kid get a load of these!" he yelled opening his jacket showing dozens of GX medals.
"So you won a few duels I've won more," said Snotlout opening his jacket showing that he had twice as many medals.
The man stared. "You must have one those from challenging third rate losers."
"You got a point there, guess that explains why challenged you," said Snotlout activating his duel disk.
"Funny kid," said the man activating his duel disk.
"Let's duel!" they yelled.
A bit later that morning, Hiccup emerged from his room and stretching his muscles.
"All right, what a great morning for a duel," he said and he looked down at his deck. "Now who do play?"
"How can you be so calm?" said Fishlegs' voice.
Hiccup looked around for the source of the voice and he blinked when he saw a garbage can making its way towards him.
Hiccup lifted the lid and saw Fishlegs. "Fishlegs?"
"Not so loud or else they're going to find me," he quivered.
"Why in the name of Thor are you in a garbage can?" Hiccup blinked.
"Hiding."
"But why?"
"Because, in case you've forgotten, the rules state you have to accept one challenge a day. Do you know what that means? I'll tell you, if I could approach by some top ranking duellist or even a mediocre one, let's face it even if he stinks, its bye bye Fishlegs."
Hiccup rolled his eyes. "You can't just hide."
"Oh yeah, watch me!"
"This tournament is supposed to be fun."
"You think flanking at a school is fun? The medals you get determine your grade that's why everyone's out to get me, Hiccup."
"Really?"
"Just look they're all out there in the words just waiting for someone like me to come by."
Hiccup looked into the woods, but saw nothing. Fishlegs was a great friend, but sometimes his paranoia did get the better of him.
"Well, good luck. My home is this garbage can until someone lamer than me walks by," said Fishlegs firmly.
"You do realise that all the weaker participants have now been kicked out of the tournament," Hiccup reminded.
"Morning soldier," said Wartihog as he and Ragnar came up the lane.
"Bye," said Fishlegs hiding back into the garbage can.
Ragnar and Wartihog soon approached him.
"What are you doing standing around here when there's a tournament to win?" Wartihog asked.
"Yeah, I thought you wanted to win," said Ragnar.
"I was just—uh," said Hiccup looking down at the trashcan next to him. "Taking out the trash."
"We've got more important things to do than discard refuse," said Wartihog.
"Yeah, like watch Snotlout taking on a Pro Duellist," said Ragnar.
"What?" Hiccup stared. "You're right, the trash can wait."
They quickly ran over towards the campus and found Eret already standing there. He indeed saw that Snotlout was duelling against someone.
"I see Snotlout really is taking on a Pro," said Hiccup.
"That's right and this guy is one of the best," said Eret looking at them. "In fact he almost beat me once."
"It he losing?"
"No. That's the crazy part… Snotlout is beating this guy," said Eret.
Hiccup looked at the duelling field and saw that Eret was right. Snotlout still had full life points while his opponent only had 2600 and Snotlout had a monster on his field that he didn't recognise.
"But not for long," said the Pro as he drew. "I summon Marshmallon in defence mode."
Suddenly appearing on the field was a creature with a gooey look to it. (ATK: 300/ DEF: 500)
"He should play that card facedown," Ragnar frowned. "Because if Marshmallon is attacked while face down the opponent loses 1000 life points."
"And he hasn't played any cards face down either," said Hiccup.
"No wonder he's losing, what Pro brings a pink gumdrop into battle," Wartihog stared.
"Hey kid, your good luck streak has ended," said the Pro.
"Good luck, huh? Watch this," said Snotlout as he drew. "I summon White Knight Lancer!"
Suddenly appearing on the field was a warrior in white armour with a shield strapped to his right hand and a double lands on his left. (ATK: 1500/ DEF: 0)
"White Knight what?" Hiccup stared.
"He's never use these cards before," said Ragnar.
"Must've got them from Wrinkly," said Wartihog.
"And next I play a spell card Infernal Gauntlet!" said Snotlout placing the spell card in his spell and trap card zone. "Now I tribute my Swordsman allowing White Knight to attack twice in a row. You still think this is about luck?"
Suddenly the handle on Lancer's double lance changes were demonic form and the Pro just stood there in silence.
"I'll take your silence as a no. And guess what there's more, whenever my Swordsman is in the Graveyard his special ability activates now all monsters with White Knight in their name gain 300 points."
Lancer then began to glow purple. (ATK: 1500-1800)
"And you know what's gonna happen next. White Knight Lancer attack is Marshmallon!"
Lancer jumped into the air.
"That makes no sense," said the Pro. "My monster can't be destroyed."
"Who needs to destroy it? Whenever Lancer attacks the difference between his attack points and your master defence points comes out of your life points."
"There does!" the Pro stared.
Lancer then slammed his lance right on top of Marshmallon, but the shockwave struck the Pro.
Pro: 1300
Snotlout: 4000
"There's more he gets to attack twice remember!" Snotlout yelled.
Lancer then struck Marshmallon again and like before the Pro got struck by the shockwave.
Pro: 0
Snotlout: 4000 (Winner!)
He then toppled over right and landed in front of Hiccup and the others.
"He won, Snotlout took out a Pro," Wartihog stared.
"And without losing a life point," Ragnar added.
"With Wrinkly's cards, no one can beat Snotlout now," said Eret.
Snotlout then approached them and looked at them. "Well? Who's next?" He then looked at Hiccup. "How about you? I've been looking for a rematch since last year, Hiccup and now you're all mine."
"Me?" Hiccup stared.
"Yes. You. Were you on another planet?"
"Actually I was in another dimension," Hiccup corrected.
"Are you trying to be funny?" Snotlout muttered.
Hiccup shrugged. "No, but if you're going to insult me I shall do it correctly."
"Well, I want to face you in a duel. Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Hiccup raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong right here right now?"
"Simple, you would lose. I want to challenge, that way I know for sure I'm the best. So work on your deck tonight and then maybe you'll last more than a couple of rounds."
"That's all he's going to need," said Wartihog narrowing his eyes.
"It's not like beating you has ever been a challenge," said Ragnar crossing his arms.
"At least you got some good cheerleaders," said Snotlout shoving past them. "See you tomorrow."
"Hang on, your decks completely different," said Hiccup. "What happened to your Ojama cards?"
"Those freaks? They're gone now."
"But they were some of your best cards," Hiccup stared. "I mean they might have annoyed you to no end, but that never stopped you from playing them."
"Easily," Snotlout huffed.
"You can't desert troops," said Wartihog.
"Especially since they were monster spirits," Ragnar added.
"Those little guys have been with you in your debt for over a year now," Hiccup reminded. "Don't you remember the good times you had?"
"The only good time was when I ditched them for good," said Snotlout crossing his arms. "Who needs those freaks yapping in there ear? Let them go ruin someone else's life."
Snotlout then turned his back on them and walked away.
"Snotlout!" Hiccup yelled.
"Just at the guy go," said Eret. "Come on, let's see who else is duelling around here."
"Shouldn't you be duelling someone?" Hiccup asked.
"What can I say, everyone's avoiding me," said Eret. He then held out his hand with a cluster of medals in it. "Except for these guys."
"Wow, that's heavy metal," Wartihog stared.
Eret shrugged. "I guess I've done all right, but these away my pockets so you can have them."
Then to Wartihog's surprise Eret handed him all the medals.
"Thanks, but these yours."
"All I need is one." He then held out a medal. "Of course, if you want that you'll have to challenge me."
Wartihog quickly backed away.
"I didn't think so," said Eret walking off. "Later."
Meanwhile, Snotlout was in the White Dorm in his room looking up at the ceiling.
'Who needs those lame Ojamas. All those stooges did was get in my way,' he said to himself. 'So why does part of me miss them? Oh, snap out of it Snotlout. I should be happy I'm in the Society of Light. But why can't I remember joining?'
He then saw cockroach looking down at him. 'You've got it easy. All you have to do is cheer until someone squashes you.'
He then heard someone knocking at his door and it open to reveal Speedfist, who apparently had died his hair white now.
"Hello," said Speedfist.
The cockroach then flew out of the window and Snotlout got up.
"Snotlout, it's time for the meeting," said Speedfist.
The two of them then walked down the corridor towards the meeting of all the Society's members.
"What with the hair anyway?" Snotlout asked.
"Oh, you like it?" Speedfist smiled. "I bleached it to show my loyalties to the Society."
"Dork," Snotlout muttered under his breath.
"Anyway, now Wrinkly will notice me and besides I think it makes me look more distinguished. Wouldn't you agree?" said Wrinkly holding his head high. They soon came to a stop. "Wait, I can do yours and you and I can be bleach brothers?"
"Yeah, as if," said Snotlout running a hand through his hair. "I like my hair. Plus that stuff will bleach your brain."
"Fine Snotlout. A simple no would have sufficed," said Speedfist.
Soon they were in the main hall and looking down at them were three White Obelisks in their third year.
"Brothers and sisters, welcome to the Society of Light," said the leader of the three. "I'm pleased to see so many of you here today. It warms my heart. Master Wrinkly is resting, but he adores and admires every last one of you! Now I want you to concentrate for me, I want you to feel the Light!"
Snotlout looked up at the bright chandelier. 'Bah, bah, bah. All I feel is sick to my stomach, I've heard all this junk before. Why can't I stop listening? Because it's the truth that's why.'
Snotlout shook his head. 'What am I saying? Wrinkly must've messed with my head.' Snotlout shook his head again. 'No he didn't! Wrinkly is a genius he taught us that Light is the answer.'
The White Obelisk was still preaching. "For with Light the world is ours to command!"
All hail the Society of Light!" the White Obelisks cheered.
"Now when this tournament and spread the light!"
Snotlout just shook his head unsure why those thought came to his head.
Meanwhile, Hiccup and Ragnar were searching across the cliff face for the Ojama cards. Wartihog was with them and look to them as if they had gone completely crazy.
"What are you two doing port side, soldiers?" he asked.
"Looking for those Ojama cards," said Hiccup as he reached into a hole in the cliff face.
"If we find them we might be able to bring Snotlout back to his senses," said Ragnar as he looked under rocks.
"With all due respect them little buggers must be half way to Atlanta has by now," said Wartihog.
"I know these Ojamas the less you want them around the more they stick around," said Hiccup.
"I doubt they ever left the island," said Ragnar.
"Hiccup. Ragnar. We got to get you to a hobby," said Wartihog shaking his head.
Deep within a cavern, the five Ojamas were all alone and at the mercy of three crabs, who had their claws on the cards.
"Someone!" Yellow yelled.
"Anyone!" Black yelled.
"Help us!" the five of them begged.
It was later night and Hiccup was looking for his deck. Both Ragnar and Warithog were in their bed sleeping.
'All right, Snotlout. It's been a year since we duelled, but I'm ready,' he said to himself.
Pharaoh then yawned in a ball of light exited from his mouth.
"Yes!" cried the voice of Banner. "Free at last!"
Hiccup turned and saw the spirit of his former history teacher floating above him.
"Hiccup," said Banner. "It's me."
"Professor Banner?" Hiccup stared. "Are you in the?"
"Unfortunately."
"Wait, did you turn to dust?"
"My body was destroyed," Banner admitted. "But my spirit survived and I was actually looking forward to resting in peace. But Pharaoh had other ideas. That's the last time I skipped his breakfast I'll tell you that."
Hiccup thought that it would be rude to point out that Banner wouldn't be able to do that. "Uh, so what new?"
"Oh, you know this and that. But we can catch up later, right now I need you."
Banner soon led Hiccup into the forest and had yet to dive always where they were headed.
"Is this all strange to anyone beside me?" Hiccup asked.
"Just follow me," said Banner.
"Whatever you say."
They soon reached the well and Hiccup recognised immediately at the place where he and Snotlout found those we cards we could duel against his brothers.
"The old well," Hiccup stared. "This is the burial place of forgotten cards."
"Yes, now listen closely," said Banner.
Within the well the Ojama were at the mercy of three crabs that had their claws firmly clamped on the cards.
"Please don't hurt us," Green begged.
"We'll give you anything you desire," said Blue.
"Just don't eat us," Red begged.
"For the last time were not shrimps," said Black.
"This is bad, I think I wet me undies," said Yellow.
Suddenly someone grasped the top of his card and a bright light shone down on him. He looked up and saw the silhouette of a figure looking down at him.
"It's a giant! Please only me! Eat my four friends!" Yellow cried.
"So you're down here, I thought I'd never find you," said the giant.
Yellow recognised the voice. "Hey, wait a sec…" The light that was Banner lowered to reveal Hiccup's face. "You're Hiccup Haddock!"
"You know these creatures?" Banner asked.
"No them? They used to be Snotlout's best cards," said Hiccup.
"I don't know what's worse, living down here or living with Snotlout."
"You've got help us! We're scared of the dark!" Yellow begged.
"Not to mention vicious card eating crabs," said Green.
"Come on, we're not getting any younger!" Black yelled.
"We can't stand this place any longer!" said Blue.
"We want out of here!" Red cried.
"Relax guys," said Hiccup.
"Easy for you to say," Yellow huffed.
"Don't worry are coming with me," Hiccup assured.
Back at the dorm, Banner floated back up to Pharaoh, who turned his head to look at him.
"After seeing that place, I realise that living inside a cat isn't so bad," said Banner.
Pharaoh then yawned and Banner entered back inside of him.
Hiccup meanwhile was at his desk looking at the five Ojamas.
"Thanks, Hiccup. You're the best" said Yellow. "Tell me, does this mean you're going to adopt us."
"Actually, I have a better plan. I'm going to reunite you with Snotlout," said Hiccup. "He and I are going to duel tomorrow."
"Thanks for the gesture, Hiccup, but it doesn't matter," said Yellow sadly.
"Yeah, ever since he joined that club Snotlout won't even look at us," said Black.
"He'll probably just throw us away again," said Green.
"No way were going through that again," said Blue.
"Yeah, he's become even bigger job than usual," said Red.
"Hold on," said Hiccup. "I have an idea. What if you guys duelled in my deck tomorrow."
"What?" Yellow stared.
"Maybe if we work together we can bring Snotlout back to normal," said Hiccup.
"You can forget it," said Black. "If Snotlout doesn't want us we don't want him."
"It sounds dangerous," said Green.
"And there's no chance we would succeed," said Blue.
"Better to just cut our losses," said Red.
"Listen to yourselves!" Yellow yelled. "This is our chance to do something with our lives. We'd be courageous like Hiccup's monsters."
"I did always like that dragon armour," said Red.
"We could be real knights," said Blue.
"He's right," Black nodded. "Are we might?"
"Heck no," said Green. "What are we?"
"Ojama Knights!" they cried in unison.
"All right," said Hiccup shaking his head. "But no costumes."
"Ah, man," they moaned.
Later the next morning, Hiccup was running towards the campers to find Snotlout already waiting for him. Over his shoulder he was holding Snotlout's old black coat.
"What's your problem?" Snotlout snarled. "Did you forget or just chicken out?"
"Actually, I was going for your old stuff and I lost track of time," said Hiccup. He then held out the black coat. "But look what I found. I thought you might want to try it on again. It certainly beats that white coat of yours."
"Put that way," Snotlout snarled." I know what you're trying to do Hiccup and it won't work. I won't go back. The old Snotlout doesn't exist anymore I've seen the Light."
Snotlout then felt slightly uneasy. 'If that's true then why does partly wonder where that jacket?'
Hiccup placed the jacket on one of the pedestals. "If you change your mind I'll leave it right here for you, Snotlout."
"Fine," said Snotlout dismissively. "I'll use it to wipe the mess once I beat you." He then activated his duel disk. "Let's duel."
"Sounds good," said Hiccup pulling out his deck. He then lowered his voice so quiet that Snotlout couldn't hear him. "All right, Ojamas we win this duel and Snotlout goes back to his old self okay. Now let's do this."
"Yeah!" the five of them cheered.
He then inserted his deck into his duel disk and activated his duel disk. "Let's do this."
"You know what to do!" Wartihog yelled.
"You've got this in the bag!" Ragnar called.
"Yeah, trash him," said Fishlegs, who was still hiding in the garbage can.
Snotlout: 4000
Hiccup: 4000
"Let's get this over with shall we. It shouldn't take long," said Snotlout as he drew. "I'll start off with this White Knight Swordsman!"
Then suddenly appearing on the field was the white armoured warrior, who held a shield in his right hand and a sword prosthetic in his left. (ATK: 1200/ DEF: 1200)
"Not again," said Wartihog.
"He is certainly using an entirely new deck," said Ragnar crossing his arms.
"There are faux down a facedown and end my turn," said Snotlout placing the card in his spell and trap card zone.
"As for me," said Hiccup as he drew. He looked at the card he drew and held it out. "I summon Dragon Knight Hookfang in attack mode."
Then appearing on the field was Hiccup's muscular Dragon Knight. (ATK: 1600/ DEF: 1000)
"And that's not all," he said holding out a spell card with the image of a normal human retrieving armour from Grump. "Knight in Training! Firstly this card allows me to do summon monster with less than 1000 total points. Next for every Dragon Knight on the field my new monster gains 300 extra attack points."
Hiccup then began looking through his deck, but he knew which once he wanted. "So I summon, Ojama Yellow!"
Then somersaulting onto the field was none other than Ojama Yellow, but he was wearing dragon-like armour. (ATK: 0-300/ DEF: 1000)
"You're kidding," said Snotlout.
"But Snotlout threw them away," Fishlegs stared.
"And Hiccup found them," said Wartihog.
"Hopefully this will not some sense into Snotlout," said Ragnar.
"Did I tell you guys that costumes were off-limits," said Hiccup.
"But I look so cool," Yellow protested. He then looked at Snotlout. "You like what you see? I bet you won a little of this in your deck."
"Wrong!" Snotlout roared. He then clutched his head. "I think… but I'm just not sure any more."
"No problem, Hookfang knock some sense into with Blazing Mace!" Hiccup commanded. "And don't forget whenever he attacks a monster he gains 400 extra attack points."
Flames then surrounded Hookfang as he raised his mace. (ATK: 1600-2000)
Hookfang then slammed his mage right on top of Swordsman and he was destroyed instantly.
Snotlout: 3200
Hiccup: 4000
"And now Ojama Yellow your turn to refresh his memory!"
"Please forgive me, boss. But this is for your own good," said Yellow as he flew at Snotlout. "Take this!"
He then spun in the air and kicked Snotlout in the chest knocking him over. "Don't hate me, please."
Snotlout: 2900
Hiccup: 4000
Snotlout then fell to the ground.
"Now I'll place this facedown and take a break," said Hiccup placed a card in his spell and trap card zone.
"Hold on!" Snotlout yelled. "I see, you're attacking me with my old cards to mock me. You think this is a joke?"
"No, Snotlout," said Hiccup. "I'm serious, you're not yourself. I'm just trying to bring you back."
"Back from what?" said Snotlout getting to his feet.
"Isn't it obvious," said Hiccup shaking his head. "Back from the Society of Light. They brainwashed you and made you give up everything you believed in."
"What?"
"I know, because it almost happened to me too," said Hiccup. "The day Eret defeated me. My grandfather isn't all he says he is. He prays on our weaknesses and try to control our will."
"I chose to join him," said Snotlout. When the memory flash into his mind. 'Or did I?'
He then clutched his head. "No. Stop it! What's going on?" He then shook his head and turned back to Hiccup and drew. "Enough! My move!"
"But Boss!" Yellow cried.
"I play White Knight Lancer!" Snotlout yelled.
Then suddenly appearing on the field was the same monster he used to take down the Pro. (ATK: 1500/ DEF: 0)
"And you remember my Swordsman don't you? The one you sent to my Graveyard? Well thanks to you all my other White Knights every hundred point bonus."
That same purple glow then surrounded Lancer. (ATK: 1500-1800)
"White Knight Lancer destroy that little freak!" Snotlout commanded.
"Oh, boy," said Yellow nervously.
Lancer then jumped into the air and slammed his lance down upon him.
Snotlout: 2900
Hiccup: 2500
Hiccup then press the button on his duel disk. "I activate my Over Limit! Now all I have to do is pay 500 life points and I can bring back any monster with less than 1000 attack points."
Snotlout: 2900
Hiccup: 2000
"So I'll play you know who!"
Yellow then appeared on the field in a defensive position.
"You paid 500 life points for him?" said Snotlout shaking his head in bewilderment. "I wouldn't even pay one point."
"He's kidding right?" Yellow asked.
"Uh, of course," said Hiccup.
"I'll place this facedown and end my turn," said Snotlout placing a card in his spell and trap card zone.
"Hey, Snotlout watch this," said Hiccup as he drew. "I summon Ojama Blue!"
Blue then appeared on the field in a defence position.
"And now I'll have Hookfang attack your Lancer!"
"I don't think so dock," said Snotlout as he pressed a button on his duel disk. "I activate Raigeki Break! So by the dicking one card I can destroy a card on the field and I chose Hookfang."
Snotlout then set a second White Knights Swordsman to his Graveyard and a bolt of lightning shot from the card destroying Hookfang.
"And that I sent a second Swordsman to my Graveyard Lancer gains a boost."
Lancer glowed purple as is power increased. (ATK: 1800-2100)
"In that case I end turn," said Hiccup.
"About time," said Snotlout as he drew. "Lancer attack!"
"I'm sure we can talk about this," said Blue.
Lance then slammed his land right on top of Blue.
Snotlout: 2900
Hiccup: 900
"Thanks Snotlout, because by destroying Ojama Blue I can add two Ojama cards from my deck to my hand," said Hiccup as he looked through his deck. "And I chose Ojama Green and Black."
"Fine," said Snotlout dismissively. "I summon my White Knight Gardna in defence mode."
Suddenly appearing on the field was another White Knight holding a large shield this time. (ATK: 800/ DEF: 2000)
"It's my move now," said Hiccup as he drew. "I summon Ojama Red in defence mode!"
Red then appeared on the field in a defensive position. (ATK: 0 / DEF: 1000)
"And thanks to his ability I can play up to four Ojama cards from my hand so let me introduce to you some old friends. Ojama Green and Black."
Green and Black then appeared on the field. (ATK: 0/ DEF: 1000)
"We're ready whenever you are, boss," said Green.
"Hey! Wait!" Snotlout yelled. "How can you call him boss? I'm your boss you twerp!"
"Now that sounding more like the Snotlout I know," said Hiccup. "Face the fact you miss them."
"Miss them? You must be out of your mind."
"We'll see about that," said Hiccup. He then looked down at the Ojamas. "This is it, your big chance!"
"You mean it?" the Ojama cried.
"You got it!" said Hiccup holding out a spell card. "I activate Ojama Delta Hurricane! Since I have Ojama Yellow, Green and Black I'm allowed to destroy every car on your side of field. Okay fellas, time to do your thing!"
Yellow, Green and Black then jumped into the air.
"Give me an O!" Yellow cried.
"Give me a J!" Green yelled.
"Give me an ama!" Balck yelled.
"What's that spell? Ojama!" they cried.
Then there butts touched one another and they began to spin madly and surrounded Snotlout's field. Seconds later his monsters and facedown card which instantly destroyed.
The Ojama's then returned to Hiccup.
"So what you think now?" Hiccup asked.
"Please," said Snotlout dismissively. "You misfits are as worthless as you always were. I know sludge with more charisma than you. I'll show you some real cards! And I'll start things off by activating my Sealed Gate! So first I have to remove my Swordsman, Lancer and my Gardna from the game!"
Snotlout then took out his three monsters and placed them in his pocket. "And then I can play the strongest monster on my deck. White Knight Lord!"
Suddenly appearing on the field was a majestic looking warrior in white armour. He had a fail in one hand and a small shield and the other. (ATK: 2000 / DEF: 2000)
"Of course I get a bonus to," Snotlout smirked. "Since my White Knight Swordsman is in the grave my Lord get even stronger."
A blue aura covered White Knight Lord as is power increased. (ATK: 2000-2300)
"So you're through," Snotlout smirked. "Master Wrinkly has given me more power than my old deck ever could. That's what you're trying to turn me against him, isn't it Hiccup? Because you're jealous."
Hiccup and the Ojama just stared at him.
"Snotlout, you're in worse shape than I thought."
