Dragon Tail soon return to the inn they were staying at. It was night and they found that Agatha was there partially drunk looking at them with disappointment.
"Way to suck it out there losers," said Agatha slightly woozy. "Seriously? How can members of the great Dragon Tail be so pathetic it was embarrassing?"
"Maybe you should have been there to cheer us on instead of hitting every pub in walking distance?" Snotlout grumbled.
"I did cheer for you guys!" Agatha glared. "All the pubs have lacrima vision and boozes a hell of a lot cheaper."
"Settle down and let's try and celebrate this terrible defeat," said Stoick holding his tankard of mead up.
"You're getting wasted dear," said Valka.
"This has certainly been an eventful day hasn't it?" said Astrid.
"I think it's safe to say that our work is cut out for us," said Hiccup as he ate.
"In fairness it was mostly Raven Tail's fault that we lost," Toothless pointed out.
"Hey, I don't see Ruby or Ragnar, did they leave?" Fishlegs asked.
"I haven't seen them since the days match," said Helga.
"Well, can you blame them?" said Spitelout folding his arms. "You saw how badly they lost today."
"They'll show up once they're done licking their wounds," said Gobber confidently.
"They looked fine to me, but do you think we should check on them or something?" said Gustav.
"No, they should find themselves," said Heather. "The two of them were utterly humiliated by Raven Tail and wounds like that are hard to heal."
"Don't worry we heal fast," said Ragnar's voice.
Heather turned around and saw both Ruby and Ragnar standing behind.
"We appreciate the gesture, but we're good," said Ruby with a smile.
"Hey, Ruby," said Fishlegs getting to his feet. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm good now," she assured him. "From a fact I'm more fired up than ever."
"How are Merrill and Stormfly?" Ragnar asked looking at Adelaide.
"They're both still pretty weak," she sighed. "Gothi hasn't left their side."
"Listen up!" Stoick yelled getting to his feet and then raised his tankard up high. "Now that all of you are here, I'd like to make a toast! Today we last and you know what that means don't you? Tomorrow we climb to the top, big Dragon Tail never backs down and we're not starting now! The greatest gilding Septem is us!"
Everyone then cheered at the top of their voices.
Jellal had decided to stay outside rather than join them in the inn, after all he wasn't officially a Dragon Tail member.
The other operations of the inn were slightly confused by this cheering.
"What gives?" said someone at the bar staring at them. "Did they drink so much that their bottom of the barrel?"
"Don't look at me," the bartender shrugged.
Meanwhile at the palace, Throk was on his knees bowing to King Macario, who was sitting on his throne.
"Your Majesty, I take it that you enjoyed the first day of the games," he said.
"The magic battle was quite good," King Macario nodded.
"If your Majesty has any requests concerning about tomorrow's battle portion I will gladly arrange it," he said.
King Macario pondered for a moment. "I would like to see Bacchus for sure make certain to include him in the match up."
"Any preference on his opponent?" Throk asked.
"How about the Dragon Tail member, the one that can transform," King Macario suggested. "What was the name again?"
"But of course your Majesty," said Throk having a good idea he knew which Dragon Tail members he was talking about. "I promise a magic battle you won't forget."
King Macario nodded. "I'm looking forward to it."
"If you have no other requests, I should take my leave."
"Thank you for your service, rest well Captain."
Throk soon exited the throne room and started to make his way through the deep dark corridors.
"Sleep is the furthest thing from my mind," he said to himself. "There's work to do. I can't afford to rest when it's so close to being finished."
He then laughed to himself.
Meanwhile at the inn Dragon Tail were staying at, Hiccup had been challenged by Wartihog again. However, the outcome was now completely different, he was able to take them down with one. Wartihog was now unconscious on the floor with a splitting headache.
"I think you might need some more training," said Hiccup looking down at Thuggory.
"KO!" Gobber yelled.
"What happened Wartihog, lose your footing?" Spitelout laughed.
"A seven-year training gap and this guy catches up in three months?" Speedfist stared.
"Have you ever felt completely outclassed?" Sven asked.
Agatha was busy drinking the other members of Dragon Tail under the table and was succeeding tremendously.
Then a black haired man approached the table, he wore baggy brown trousers, a pair of sandals. He was completely bare-chested exposing his muscular chest, instead his arms and shoulders were covered in dark blue armour plates, which joined on the upper part of his back and are topped by a wide, arched armoured collar in correspondence to his nape. On his back he wore a bright lead Blazing Fenrir Guild emblem and he looked as nearly drunk as Agatha.
"Now this seems like a party worth joining," said the stranger.
Agatha looked up. "Oh yeah?"
The stranger than slammed a glass of alcohol onto the table and looked at Agatha in the eyes. "How about a couple of drinks to pass the time?" he said.
Agatha smiled. "Ah, so was skipping the introductions and going straight to the fun part? You got something to prove do ya?"
"Hey, pal, take some free advice and walk away," Spitelout advised.
Gobber nodded. "Her alcohol tolerance is about as sTorng as her father."
However, it was Agatha who was got drunk under the table and the other guy was completely unharmed, albeit a bit more dizzy than normal.
"You've got to be kidding me?" Gobber and Spitelout stared.
The stranger from Blazing Fenrir laughed as he finished his drink.
"I don't believe it!" Agatha stared.
"He regularly drunk under the table," said Phlegma in bewilderment.
"I've never seen Agatha drink until she drops before," said Speedfist.
The guy then took Agatha's bikini top and then started to make his way to the door. "Thanks, for the trophy hot stuff," he said spinning the bikini top around his fingers.
Immediately Gobber and Spitelout rushed onto their feet.
"Do you have a death wish?" Spitelout roared.
"If Gildarts finds out he's going to be pissed!" Gobber yelled.
He just laughed.
"Handed over!" Gobber demanded.
"We don't care of your drunk!" Spitelout roared.
Then the two of them charge at the stranger and Gobber swung his hammer straight at him. Then the strangest thing happened, the guy pretty much collapsed forward and then jumped back up hitting the two of them with the back of his fists and knocking them to the ground. He then bend over backwards and slammed the palm of his hand onto their faces and slamming their heads right through the floorboards.
"This guy is out of his mind!" Speedfist stared.
"Get up!" Gustav yelled.
"Is that you Bacchus," said Astrid approaching the drunk.
The guy then jumped back onto his feet and looked at Astrid with a crazed smile. "Well, well, if it isn't Astrid Hofferson," he said before hiccupping.
"Still a drunk," Astrid noted.
"And when I'm sober you will still be super-hot," he laughed.
"You know how to flatter girl," Astrid grumbled folding her arms.
"You know him?" Ruby blinked.
"I heard that you went into hiding a while back," said Bacchus looking at Astrid. "Seems like such a shame."
"Something like that," said Astrid rolling her eyes. "What about you? I hear you're actually competing in the Magic Games."
Bacchus laughed. "At first I saw this as a little trip to get hammered and sample the local colour," he said. "But after watching Warcry make a fool out of himself and our Guild, my spirit got a taste of vengeance. I'm entering the games as a reserve member and I'm planning to cause all kinds of trouble." He then started to make his way to the door rather dizzily. "My soul is shaken and stirred, maybe we'll have our own little part in the battle round. It'll be nice to settle the score."
He then left the inn and Ruby turned towards Astrid.
"Who was walking distillery?" she asked.
"The members of Blazing Fenrir, he's one of their S-Class Vikings, I've run in on to him on jobs more than a few times over the years and I know his strength all too well. Drunken Hawk Bacchus, Master of the Drunken Chop Hanging Palm, we fought on many occasions, but there's never been a clear winner."
"What?" Ruby stared. "You mean he's a sTorng as you."
"This will certainly make our job a little bit tougher," said Hiccup.
"No joke, we can't afford to lose any points tomorrow or else we'll be pretty much out of the running" said Ragnar.
Meanwhile at the firmly within the Coliseum, Stormfly was telling Goth of her vision. Merrill was still sound asleep not fully recovered yet.
"So tell me about this vision of yours. What exactly did you say?" Gothi asked.
"It was confusing, because there was only bits and pieces. They're never very clear," she said sadly. "There was a man in white armour, an enormous magic circle."
"Can you recall any more?"
"I saw something that defied all reason," she said shaking uncontrollably.
Gothi looks slightly intrigued now. "Would you mean by that?"
Stormfly looked up at her. "I saw the palace crashing down and as it happened I thought I heard someone singing… Ruby."
The next day, everyone was in the Coliseum for the start of the second day of the Games.
"It's day two of the Grand Magic Games and the stands are exploding with excitement!" Agnar announced over the cheers the roaring crowd. "Joining me once again is Johann and I knew special guest, the greatest hunter in the land Theron Blackbark!"
"It's an honour to be here," said Theron.
"Now let's start today's events with a game we call 'Chariot'!" Agnar yelled. Then entire crowd cheered their heads off. "Now just like yesterday one competitor of each team will be competing."
Hiccup's team frowned slightly.
"I'll do it," said Snotlout flexing his muscles.
"Like we need a musclebound idiot in charge," Ragnar grumbled.
"The name Chariot indicated the game of speed," said Hiccup. "I'm the fact is among us so I'll be taking part."
"Good luck," said Astrid.
"I'll make sure that Dragon Tail gets the respect it deserves," Hiccup assured as he made his way down.
"Do you think he can do it?" Ruby asked looking at Astrid.
Astrid looked at her. "If there's one thing I've learned all the time I was in Dragon tail is and never underestimate Hiccup."
At Alvin's team they too were deciding who to send among them was Agatha, who was acting as a reserve member for them.
"If Hiccup's taking part then I should take part," said Eret.
"Sure go-ahead," said Alvin.
At the Sabretooth team Sting smiled upon seeing Hiccup was going to compete.
"I'll been waiting for this," he said and started to make his leave. "I'll take this one guys."
"Show them what you've got, Sting!" Hookfang cheered.
Of the Raven Tail's team, Lexsar looked at the fiendish looking elf.
"Take care of them, Black Snake" she said.
"Hoping you would say that," he said licking his lips.
At Blazing Fenrir' team, Bacchus was stood there wobbling back and forth.
"I'll take this one," he said.
"Show them were made of," said Thuggory.
"The competitors have been selected," said Agnar as all the comparisons made their way into the arena. "From Dragon Tail Team A, Hiccup Haddock. From Dragon Tail Team B, Eret Eretson. From Sabretooth, Sting Holywing. From Blue Pegasus, Olatrand. From Thor's Hammer, Veger. From Raven Tail, Black Snake. From Valkyrie Sword, Kelali. From Blazing Fenrir, Bacchus."
Soon all the competitors were making their way to the centre awaiting further instructions.
"I'm going to show you how powerful I truly am," said Sting looking at Hiccup with a smirk.
"I'm sure you will," said Hiccup calmly. He then turned his attentions upon Black Snake and wondered what Raven Tail was going to do this time. He then turned to Eret. "Watch out for him, chances are he'll do something underhanded."
Eret nodded. "Yeah, I reckon you're right."
"You should be more worried about yourself," said Black Snake.
Hiccup narrowed his eyes. "That may be how your guild works, but in our as we look out for one another."
"Now it's time to get this game started," said Agnar.
And then all eight of them vanished into thin air.
"What happened to them?" Ruby stared over the stands.
"Look," Ragnar pointed.
They looked up at the monitors and saw that all the competitors had appeared in the marketplace within the capital. They were standing on a large Chariot that appear to be connected to several others making all the way towards the Coliseum.
"Now it's time for the rules," said Agnar. "The point of this game is to reach the final goal without falling off. Simple, right? Wrong, the chariot will be constantly in motion and though they go on a snail's pace one false move and it's all over. Then whichever surviving team survives this rough-and-tumble tour through Crocus and crosses the finish line in the Coliseum will receive points depending upon their positions."
"I see," said Olatrand. "A simple straightforward race where the competitors are free to use magic however they wish."
"So if anyone falls off those chariots their disqualified," said Astrid folding her arms.
"You think Raven Tail will try and knock Hiccup off?" Ragnar asked.
"Hiccup will know what to expect, I'm sure he has a plan in motion," said Astrid confidently.
"This sounds like fun," said Bacchus with a small hiccup.
"Now let's start the game!" Agnar yelled. "Competitors get ready, get set…" Hiccup and the others altered starting positions. "GO!"
Then a horn blew and the chariot began to move slowly. However, a split second later Hiccup zoomed ahead.
"What just happened?" Snake stared.
"He just took off," said Veger.
"Let's take a closer look," said Agnar.
The last few seconds from the monitor then appeared in slow motion. It revealed that Hiccup's prosthetic now have a wheel which was they didn't notice earlier and flames were shooting out of his hands and it skidded across his wheel ahead of the pack.
"I don't believe in ladies and gentlemen, but Hiccup Haddock has just taken the lead in a flurry of flames," said Agnar.
"Ah, he quickly switched his prosthetic to one with a wheel attachment and then uses flames of the afterburner to push himself forward," Johann explained.
"Hiccup was always good at thinking outside the box," said Theron.
"What a strategy," said Agnar. "It will certainly be hard for the competitors to catch up."
"Hiccup is known by his ingenuity and I must say that I was not expecting anything less from the boy," said Johann.
"Looks like have to play catch up," said Eret and started to chase Hiccup down.
"Now where you're leaving me in the dust," said Sting growled running after them.
"And now the competitors are on the move," said Agnar. He then turned to look at Johann. "So, Johann, I've heard an interesting rumour that Hiccup was once Sting Holywing's master."
"I must say the first time that I've heard of such a thing," said Johann.
"Then maybe I exclaim all the rumours for you see Sting was part of our clan," said Theron. "After Hiccup protected us from the Dark Viking Guild, losing his leg in the process, that were after Sting we healed him. At the Sting was a young boy, who only got started on the journey of becoming a Dragon Slayer. As payment for healing him, Hiccup offered to teach young Sting a few things in the ways of magic."
"Then you better keep watching folks, because chances are you'll be seeing some fireworks against master and student," said Agnar.
Astrid and the others watched as Hiccup stormed ahead of the others.
"He's doing very well," said Ruby.
"I knew we had a plan," Astrid smiled.
"Hopefully this will get us back on top," said Ragnar.
"I still say I could have done better," Snotlout grunted.
"Hiccup Haddock is really storming ahead from the pack," said Agnar. "But Eret and Sting are right on his tail, but will they be able to catch up to him in time?"
"That's my boy!" Stoick laughed.
"Go Eret! Go!" Skullcrusher yelled.
"That's Hiccup, he always had a surprise up his sleeve!" Toothless cheered.
Eret was running as fast they could catch up with Hiccup, but Sting was running right beside him trying to do the same.
"Out of my way you big lug," said Sting shoving Eret aside. "I want Hiccup."
"Sorry, pal, but you'll have to get in line," said Eret shoving him back.
"Come on, Sting! The pedal to the metal, don't let this chump beat you!" Hookfang roared.
"He might have a hard time doing that if he can't catch up to the guy," said Skull.
"They're really going at it," said Valka.
"That Sting is a real chip on his shoulder," Heather noted. "He's not really showing any of Hiccup's qualities."
"Only because he learned from him doesn't mean that he would necessarily take them to heart," said Alan folding his arms.
"This raises his neck and neck as it gets folks," said Agnar. "In first place is Hiccup, but Eret and Sting are closing the gap and passed. Behind them is Black Snake from Raven Tail followed closely by Blue Pegasus' Olatrand, Thor's Hammer Veger and Valkyrie Sword's Kelali."
Olatrand was running as fast as he could, but he was out of shape. "Feel the burn!" he yelled.
"I'm surprised that you dwarfs can run for this long," said Veger.
"Don't underestimate us dwarfs short stuff, especially as female dwarf's," said Kelail.
"In last place is Blazing Fenrir' reserved remember Bacchus," said Agnar.
Bacchus was at the back of the line running as fast as he could, but there was easier said than done since he had a massive hangover.
"Man, that guy is loud," he said. "Can't you let them and work of last night boozing in peace."
"Feel my Wave Boost!" Veger yelled and suddenly got a massive boost similar to Hiccup with his magic.
However, the difference was he had no wheel prosthetic so he didn't zoom ahead like Hiccup. But unlike Hiccup he was able to neutralise the magic powers from those behind him very easily.
"Good luck using any magic while you're inside my shockwave!" Veger boasted.
"Weren't you listening before?" said Kelail and then promptly ran to the side of the chariot and began running across the side. "Don't mess with girl power!"
"There it is," said Agnar. "Kelail's Gravity Change Magic which is being generated by that necklace around her neck. She was able to dodge Veger's attack and is now making her way towards the leaders."
"A Magic Neutralising Wave, huh? In that case…" said Olatrand reaching into his jacket pocket. He then grabbed two vials and stuck them up his nose. "Watch my Swiftness Parfum, point-blank absorption style!"
The entire crowd cheered their heads off as he zoomed ahead past Veger.
"Man!" he yelled.
"Whoa, they're really going all-out, aren't they? Get my soul all stirred up you know," said Bacchus. "Guess I might as well put a little effort into this race too! Check this out!"
He then slammed his foot down onto the chariot shut it to pieces. This caused a massive chain reaction across the other chariots knocking everyone off their feet including the leaders.
"I don't believe it!" Agnar yelled in astonishment. "Bacchus demolished the chariots with brute force!"
The crowd cheered even louder at the carnage in front of them.
"Amazing," said Astrid stunned. "He's even sTornger than before."
"What's with this guy?" Snotlout stared.
"Catch you later loses!" Bacchus yelled rushing ahead past everyone. "Try another falloff before the finish!"
"That was a dirty trick," said Olatrand completely out of wind.
"You said it," said Veger a bit dazed from the attack.
"No one makes me fly!" Kelail yelled.
Bacchus then raised past Hiccup and the others had a tremendous speed and soon reached the Colosseum and ran across the finishing line.
"We have a winner!" Agnar cried.
"Shaken and stirred baby!" Bacchus yelled at the crowd cheered.
"Blazing Fenrir scores 10 points what a come from behind victory!" Agnar cried.
"I didn't know Fenrir had someone like him in the Guild," said Stoick.
"Nice going boys," Mogadon smiled.
Thuggory and the rest cheered for Bacchus.
"I may not be get the gold, but I certainly get the silver," said Hiccup as he got back up.
However, when he tried to take a step he completely collapsed. He looked down at his crew and saw that his prosthetic was missing.
"Where's my leg?" Hiccup stared in horror.
"Right here," said a sinister voice. Hiccup looked up and saw Black Snake standing in front of him with his prosthetic in his hands. "Looks like you won't be running anymore."
He then promptly snapped the leg in two much to Hiccup's horror.
"Oh no, Black Snake has completely destroyed Hiccup's leg," said Agnar with disappointment. "Looks like Dragon Tail Team A be stuck with zero points again."
"What a Cheat!" Ruby yelled.
"It's technically not cheating," Astrid growled.
"Still it is pretty low," said Ragnar clenching his fist.
Black Snake then promptly ran across the chariots and ran across the goal.
"And he takes the second-place position," Agnar continued.
Soon the other competitors ran across the finishing line. "Kelail's in third, Veger take fourth and Olatrand comes in fifth, but what happened to Sting and Eret."
"Looks like Sting won't be finishing anytime soon," Johann noted.
Everyone turned and lacrmia screens and saw that Sting had been knocked off the chariots no doubt from Bacchus' attack.
"What an upset for Sabretooth," said Agnar with disappointment. "According to the rules that is an automatic disqualification which means Sting's is now in last place."
"And it would seem as if Eret is helping Hiccup to his foot," Theron noted.
Eret was indeed helping Hiccup by placing an arm over his shoulder.
"You could've taken second-place, you know that right?" said Hiccup.
"And you leave you here, I think not," said Eret as he started to make their way down the chariots slowly. "Besides, I think you've earned a few points."
"I guess every little helps," Hiccup sighed.
Sting just watched with disappointment as they slowly made their way across the chariots.
"Talk about un-cool," he said with disgust. "Anyone can see that you have got no strength left. You're just making fools of yourselves."
"Says the guy who was knocked off the chariots by a drunk," Hiccup countered.
Sting narrowed his eyes. "Fine, whatever. I didn't need this win so you guys can have it. Sabretooth it's just gonna keep on racking up the points after this. In the end one measly little point isn't going to change the outcome."
Eret smirked. "One point isn't something to scoff at, kid. Don't you forget that?"
Sting just looked at them reluctantly as they kept on making their way across the chariots. "I don't get it," he said finally. "Can you explain something to me?"
Hiccup and Eret looked back at him as they kept on moving.
"Why do you even bother entering the tournament?" Sting asked. "Seriously? I mean you're nothing like the Dragon Tail I knew growing up. You're obsessed with how tough you are and what the rest of the world thinks of you."
The members of Dragon Tail from the stands just looked up as Sting's words echoed across the Colosseum.
"What happened to the Dragon Tail of my childhood?" Sting continued. "The Guild that did whatever the hell it wanted… whatever it wanted. They never cared about what anyone else thought or said about them."
"You really have forgotten everything I taught you or else you would have seen it," Hiccup sighed. "I could care less about our reputation, but what I cannot ignore is our friends."
Sting looked up.
"The ones that waited for us all the years we were gone," Hiccup continued. "Who fought through the pain and the heartache. They were humiliated, but even so they stayed sTorng and they kept our Guild Together. We are doing this for all of them and were going to make sure that everyone here knows… that Dragon Tail never gave up, not from instant! So there's no way I'm going to give up now!"
Then all the members of Dragon Tail burst into tears upon hearing Hiccup's words.
"Oh, Hiccup," they cried.
Eret looked at Hiccup and smiled at him, because he shared the same sentiment.
Sting just stood there in bewilderment as the members of Dragon Tail felt Hiccup's words and into their hearts both those that stayed behind and those that were trapped. They just watched as Hiccup and Eret kept on moving, not stopping for an instant and until they eventually reached the finish line.
"They did it! Dragon Tail A Hiccup had crossed the finish line and bag sixth place and scores two points!" Agnar yelled.
"At least we finally got points on the board," said Hiccup looking exhausted.
Eret then crossed the finish line after he pushed Hiccup across it. "Dragon Tail B Eret takes seventh place and scored one point!" Agnar continued.
Hiccup's words also touched the hearts from the crowds.
"Now those boys have some moxie."
"Yeah, that was awesome."
"Well, there gutty I'll give them that."
"They're from Dragon Tail, aren't they? Maybe their Guilds not so bad after all."
"They caught me right in the feels, man."
"You know, I might just losing to those guys now."
The entire crowd and began to cheer and clap for Dragon Tail. They might have failed to achieve much in the game, but with the crowd cheering and clapping for them they prove that they were the real winners.
"You rock Dragon Tail!"
"You just got yourself a new fan!"
The members of Dragon Tail then felt tears coming out of their eyes unable to hold them back.
Hiccup the First looked at Stoick. "Your son really has a sTorng spirit," he said.
"And I can't be any more proud of," said Stoick looking down at his son proudly. "He's managed to renew our spirits and given us the momentum we need."
Sting was making his way back to the stands and could hear the crowd cheering outside
"Crowd favourite Sting was disqualified so Sabretooth gets zero points," said Agnar's voice.
Sting just stood there. "You're doing this for your friends?" he scoffed. "That's a load of crap and you know it."
Everyone then turned the scoreboard with changed considerably after that game.
1st Raven Tail: 26p
2nd Sabretooth: 20P
2nd Thor's Hammer: 20P
4th Blue Pegasus: 17P
5th Blazing Fenrir: 12p
6th Valkyrie Sword: 9p
7th Dragon Tail B: 2P
7th Dragon Tail A: 2P
"And Raven Tail has jumped in first place which leaves Sabretooth tied for second with Thor's Hammer," said Agnar.
"Wait, we're not first? How did we fall behind?" Hookfang stared.
"Sting was disqualified when he felt the Chariot the last game," Skull explained.
Hiccup was now in the infirmary completely exhausted from the game. Merrill too was unconscious in her bed, but Stormfly had made a full recovery now.
"So, you're sure Hiccup will be okay?" Ruby asked looking at Gothi.
"Why would he be? He's just exhausted," said Gothi. "Gobber has already provided an extra leg for him which you can wear when he wakes up. Stop worrying and let him get some rest."
"What about Merrill?" Ruby asked.
"She's coming along nicely," said Gothi.
Ruby then looked down at Stormfly, who was looking at her curiously. "At least you're up now Stormfly. How are you feeling?"
"Fine," Stormfly assured.
Ruby smiled. "I'm so glad to hear that."
Ruby then started to leave the infirmary. "The others away so I'll check back later okay?"
Once Ruby was gone Gothi turned to Stormfly. "You're not going to say anything to her?"
"I just don't think it'll do any good. They'd never believe me," she said simply. "Not about a future like that anyway."
Gothi merely shrugged. "I suppose it's just as well that you don't then. Besides you don't seem to believe in yourself."
"You're right. I don't believe it, how can I?" she said looking deeply confused. "It's too bizarre to be true. It was in a premonition just a silly dream."
Meanwhile in the arena, the first Match of the Day was beginning.
"And now the part you're all been waiting for the battle portion," said Agnar. "Today's first match pits against Black Snake, the dark python our first place of our first place Guild Raven Tail. Against Thor's Hammer own Torn Wolfbane."
Torn then roared like a wolf.
"It's serpent versus hound. Which one of them will end up as top dog?" said Agnar.
"I expect to see a clean fight there understand?" said Johann.
"Normally I would cheer for an elf, but I am inclined to vote for Torn," said Theron.
Ruby then joined the team just in time to see the first battle.
"Hey, guys, did I miss anything?" Ruby asked.
"They've been taking their sweet time," Snotlout grumbled.
"It's just about to start," said Ragnar. "Torn is going in for Lyon's Guild."
"It's the Raven Tail Viking you should watch, he's the same one that robbed Hiccup of any a chance to get more points," said Astrid.
"Now we know he won't play fair," said Ruby as she joined them.
Ruby then turned her attention to the stands which contained the Raven Tail Guild. She saw Flare grinning away at her, but notice that she was heavily bruised and she was very certain that she didn't cause them the last battle.
"Yeah, I see you too, Red," she said with a sinister smile.
"Flare," Lexsar warned. "I won't tolerate any more embarrassment. You do realise who you owe your victory too don't you?"
"Yes, sir," she said nervously. "But that redhead bimbo won't staring at me."
Lexsar then grabbed her cheeks. "Are you asking for another beating?" she growled.
"N-no," said Flare fearfully. "I won't argue again. Please, have mercy on me?"
Ruby saw the brutal way that Lexsar had treated her and had a good feeling that she was the one that caused the bruises on Flare.
Then the horn blew signalling the start of the match and immediately Torn's fingernails expanded into claw.
"Ultra Poison Jellyfish Poison Nails: Mega Mega Jellyfish!" he roared.
He then began to swing his claw-like nails at Black Snake, who dodged them flawlessly. He then jumped back and suddenly turn to stand and vanished much to Torn's surprise.
"He just vanished," he stared.
"You fool, he's using Mimi Magic!" Jura yelled.
"Sand Rebellion!" Black Snake yelled.
Suddenly a massive tornado stand erupted around Torn spinning him around wildly. He then reappeared once the spell dispersed with a sinister grin on his face.
"That freaks stole me spell," Wartihog stared.
"He must be able to mimic different types of magic or something," said Phlegma.
"Mimi Magic," said Hiccup the First looking intrigued. "I haven't seen that in a while."
"Come on, Torn tear him up!" Gustav yelled.
"Beat him to a pulp!" Stoick roared.
Torn soon recovered and howled. "You're stronger than I thought you were," he said.
"You not so bad yourself," said Black Snake.
"I wish I had a cool name like Black Snake," said Torn.
"It's just my codename," he said.
"You mean you lied to me!" he roared.
Black Snake blinked. "What are you talking about?"
"All right, if I beat you you tell me what your real name is deal?" said Torn as he swiped at him with his claws.
"I'm fine with that," said Black Snake as he dodged each and every attack. "But what if I win?"
"Then I'll tell you my super special secret that nobody knows!"
Black Snake smiled. "Intriguing. It's a deal!"
"Our competitors seem to have struck a friendly wager," Agnar noted.
"I wouldn't consider their secrets a prize," Johann frowned.
"It is only going to make the match a lot more interesting," said Theron.
Bacchus looked intrigued by this development. "A little gambler? This could make things interesting."
