Toothless was making his way south thinking hard about the Gothars. It took the combined efforts of both Hiccup and Snotlout to take down one of them, and that was thanks to the Gothars own stupidity and then there were those gorillas.

"Those Gothars and gorillas all have powers that I can't hold up to," he said pondering. "So close-quarters fight doesn't mean much, guess I'll just have to backup. And if I have to take them down a distance, I think I'll have a move that'll work."

He remembered when he battled against those Baroque Works goons; he had unleashed a powerful shockwave attack at them knocking them like skittles. However, these Gothars were a different story, and there was no way they would go down as quickly.

'Well it works on your basic glass jaw fighters, but against a real guy.'

Then a gigantic bird began swooping down towards him, but he had heard its approach. He then grasped hold of Light Fury and then practised that same shockwave move on the bird taking it down instantly.

"Need some work, but I think after a few tests it'll be ready," he said as he walked off. "The flying blade attack."


Chopper was now running through the forest as fast as-is for those who carry him as the divine warriors were chasing him down. He kept on running then suddenly he saw three vanir coming at him from the opposite direction, he went to a complete stop and turned around, back towards the divine warriors.

"Vanir!" said one of the warriors.

"Divine warriors," said one of the vanir.

Both parties had forgotten entirely about Chopper and began to engage with one another. One of the vanir fired his bazooka at one of the warriors, but he quickly dodged out of the way, and soon there was a massive firefight. Chopper took this opportunity to get away from all the fighting.

Vanir had managed to take down one of the warriors by firing his bazooka, but when a never vanir clash with another warrior, they both knock each other out. The divine warrior then struck a vanir boy as he was aiming his rifle at him and sent him crashing to the nearby tree.

Chopper began crying as he ran from the battle. 'I would be better off being eaten alive at the altar!'


Heather had found herself had a set of ruins and was now studying them curiously. She could hear the sound of fighting close by, and it sounded as if things were getting pretty intense.

"Ha, sounds like the island is having its fair share of drama," she said and then looked back at the houses. "I think these homes were built so far from the city for better longevity with crops, but it looks like all this brush swallowed up the mortar and brick. I hope the city is still there."

Then suddenly jumping down onto one of the buildings was a divine warrior, his impact had caused a piece of the roof to topple over much to Heather's annoyance.

"What are you doing here, woman?" said the divine warrior. "You should be aware that this is a half to All-Father's shrine proceeding any further would be insolent."

"Would you get down?" Heather snapped. "Do you even have a clue as to the archaeological significance of these ruins? They're priceless!"

The divine warrior narrowed his eyes at her. "How dare you talk back?"

"What are you doing here anyway; you have some kind of business with me?"

"Yes, simple business actually," said the divine warriors he rose to his feet. "I've been charged by the All-Father to eliminate any vanir or Blue Sea people I find with my axe dial!"

Heather merely smiled. "Six Flower!" Then before he knew it, the divine warrior found himself trapped by six arms sprouting out of his body. "And with a twist…"

The arms then tightened, and seconds later, there was a nasty cracking sound. She then released the divine warrior who just collapsed and then picked up a piece of the roof that he managed to dislodge.

"Such a lack of respect," she said.


Elsewhere in the forest divine warrior and a vanir were battling one another, the vanir managed to avoid the attack coming from the divine warrior. He then appeared behind him and then struck in with his spear knocking him out cold.

"And you call yourself divine," he said as he landed on the ground. "These guys are going to be the end of us, so far they've managed to kill a lot more of us than we have them."

"Now the south should be this way, would be nice if I had some kind of compass though," said a voice behind him.

The vanir turned around and saw Toothless walking right past him. "That one of those Blue Sea people that Wyper was talking about. Better go and take out."

The vanir grasped his spear and then charged at Toothless performing a battlecry.

Toothless nationally heard this and saw him running towards him. "A gorilla… and he looked pissed."

"Die!" the vanir yelled as he thrust his spear towards him.

Toothless managed to jump out of the way and then drew Light Fury. "What your problem?"

The vanir tried to attack him again, but Toothless was a little too fast for him and struck him in the face with the hilt of his blade. He struck in with so much force that he was sent flying and fell unconscious.

"And I thought that Astrid had anger management issues," said Toothless as he sheathed his blade.

He then heard someone close by; when he looked up, he saw a divine warrior jumping on one of the large tree roots.

"Please know," he begged. "I surrender! I give up! I lose you win, just don't kill me!"

Toothless then saw a flash and heard the sound of a gunshot and suddenly saw the divine warrior fall to the ground. Toothless quickly reach his blade just as Branham jumped out of the bushes.

"Not again, listen not Kate if you're not a Gothar then go and find someone else to shoot," said Toothless. "I'm in a hurry here."

Branham then landed on the ground in front of him and then fired his pistols. When he fired, there was a huge flash coming out of the barrel, which temporarily blinded Toothless. Fortunately, he had the sense to jump out of the way, and it was a good thing that he did because a few seconds later bullets flew right past him.

Branham then launched himself into the air and began jumping from branch to branch until he was directly over him. This time he fired several shots at Toothless, who then quickly rolled out of the way and then skidded to a halt.

"All right, what's the deal with these glowing pistols," said Toothless, but when he looked back, he saw that Branham was gone. "Where did he go? He couldn't have gotten far."

He then quickly sensed and behind him and promptly ducked just as Branham swung a kick at him. Toothless then drew one of his blades and swung his sword at him, but dodged by standing on his hands. He then used the dial is on his shoes to launch a speedy kick, which struck him in the chest sending him flying.

Branham then spun around and landed on his feet, and seconds later, Toothless rose to his feet.

"You put up a good fight, I'm almost sorry that I underestimated you," said Branham.

Toothless removed his backpack. "Well, thanks, pal. But I should apologise to you; I took you for a loser."

Toothless and Branham could hear the battle raging throughout the entire forest, but at this moment, their focus was on the opponent in front of them. Branham then made the first move activating the dials on his shoes, launching himself towards Toothless and managed to get behind him.

'He never moved his feet!' Toothless stared as he quickly drew his second blade just as Branham fired his pistols.

Toothless quickly moved and hid behind one of the large tree roots and watched as Branham somersaulted away and disappeared within the bushes.

'Polo said there were different types of dials up here; I wonder this guy has one or two strapped to his shoes,' Toothless pondered. 'Because when he moves, gusts of wind shoot from his feet. What else could it be? And those pistols of his flash as bright as the sun blinding me every time he fires.'

He then stepped outside from behind the root and began looking around for him. "Where could he be now?"

He then heard the sound of movement behind him, and several flashes quickly followed that. He immediately jumped out of the way and turned around and then he placed Light Fury in his mouth and unsheathed his third sword.

Branham just stared at him as he charged towards him, but he quickly regained his composure and fired several shots. Toothless, however, was able to avoid them and raised his blades.

"Tiger…"

"He's using all three?" Branham stared

"Hunt!" Toothless and Branham quickly launched himself into the air to avoid the attack.

Toothless looked up as he flew up the tree. "Aren't you a hotshot?"

Branham then quickly fired down on top of him, and Toothless quickly moved. Branham landed on the Milky Road and saw Toothless running up the tree and then launched himself into the air to get the height advantage.

"Ha, this Blue Sea idiot has no clue about using dials," said Branham and then pulled out a dial and press down on the apex. "He doesn't even stand a chance."

He then tossed the dial, and as it flew through the air, it created a pathway of clouds, which led all the way towards Toothless.

"Hey, guess what this is," said Branham as he rode on top of the clouds.

"Oh no," said Toothless.

"It's called a milky dial," said Branham as the pathway reached all the way towards Toothless.

Once Branham had reached him, he then quickly pointed his pistols at Toothless' head. Toothless suddenly leaned back just as he fired, avoiding the bullets entirely.

"You know aerial combat isn't just leaping around in desperation," said Branham as he jumped out of the way.

No sooner had he did that giant sky leech launched itself out of the Milky Road and headed straight towards Toothless.

"That looks big," he said and then quickly swung his blade cutting it in half. The two halves of the parasite then land on the Milky Road, and he fell on one of them. "A ton of wooden these things would make for a killer barbecue."

Branham road on the Milky dial so that he was now behind Toothless and then immediately fired everything he had at him. Toothless deflected some of the shots, but there was just too many, and he quickly jumped to safety wincing in pain. Branham landed back on the Milky Road and now appear to be waiting for his next move.

For his part, Toothless was trying to fight back against the pain in his leg. One of Branham had managed to pierce through his hard skin, and now blood was pouring out.

"What the hell is wrong with me?" Toothless winced. "This guy moves fast, and I leave myself open like a big target, and I got a bullet in my leg for my troubles."

Toothless leaned against the tree, thinking hard. "Those flashes are the annoyance; they blind me so I can't see the bullets before it's too late. Not to mention these guys are masters of aerial combat and Hiccup is the only one who can go toe to toe with them in the air."

"Not a big fan of my flashguns, are you?" said Branham as he stood there. "Being a swordsman, you need close quarters defined which I won't give you. I don't understand your reasons for being here, and I don't care, but I will say that your mere presence defines you as an enemy of the vanir. Now I'm telling you to surrender or die, which might happen sooner if we keep standing here. That leg of yours isn't getting any better."

"I'm a drake, we heal much faster than humans," said Toothless as he emerged from his hiding spot. "Guess I found the perfect situation to test that new technique again, let's give it a try."

Branham then immediately fired at him and Toothless quickly moved. Branham kept on following his movements firing his pistols were out a moment's pause. Toothless then jumped off the tree branch and landed back down on the ground, and he winced in pain when or his weight fell on his bad leg. Branham didn't give him a moment's chance to recover and kept on firing, but eventually, he stopped.

"Think you can run away?" he asked.

"Sight… sound… smell… touch… taste… and thought," said Toothless as he stood there. "These six roots ground as all the way of good, evil and peace."

"What are you talking about?" Branham asked.

"And of course each of these can be pure or impure, these are the 36 earthly desires," said Toothless and draft Light Fury with his in his hand. "Listen up I have the barrel of a cannon aimed directly at your head and all you have a couple of pistols. In both distance and power, my weapon is superior, you've done very well, but you're still going to die."

Branham didn't look convinced and tossed a milky dial and began riding down the cloud towards Toothless.

"What cannon? You're out of your mind; all I see are three swords."

"Have you ever seen a flying blade attack?"

"Attack of this!" Branham yelled, aiming his pistols at him.

"Single Sword Style!" said Toothless bracing himself.

Branham then fired everything he had down on top of Toothless.

Toothless then swung his blade unleashing a powerful shockwave that took the form of a bird, which sliced through the bullet, the Milky Road and struck Branham.

"36 Calibre Phoenix!" Toothless yelled.

Branham then fell to the ground covered in blood.

"That looked uncomfortable," said Toothless as he sheathed his blade and then picked up his backpack. "Nothing personal, being natural enemies and all, but you're in the dirt because I hate being told what I can and can't do. I'll survive you watch."


Within the forest the fighting escalated, the divine warriors were countering the vanir using their dials while the vanir themselves were using all kinds of different weapons. Gable had just taken down one of the vanir within some ruins.

"Where am I?" Chopper cried. "I lost all sense of direction; the trees are too tall for me to see the sun. Hiccup… Toothless… Heather, please find me I don't want to be left on the stinking island, dire of food hunting for gigantic bugs and even if I do die will there be a doctor waiting for me? Wait what does it matter when you're dead, you're dead, and no doctor can save you, but I don't want to die I'm stuck in this awful place thinking about death and doctors wondering if there could be something else like a dentist. The dentist would be nice; they make people's teeth feel better rather than giant sky sharks and people trying to kill me. Wait, maybe I died and went to Valhalla."

He finally stopped and took in his surroundings. "Wait, are these ruins? We were supposed to meet at ruins, maybe they're already here waiting for me or maybe I was so fast I'd beat them. I'm so impressed with my shrewd navigational skills; they let me to just the right place. This is awesome! I'm right on the first one here!"

He was so busy talking that he failed to notice that Gable was behind him looking at him.

'A raccoon dog?' he said to himself.


Elsewhere within forest, Hiccup and Wyper were staring down at one another, neither one of them were budging an inch.

Wyper made the first move firing his bazooka, but Hiccup merely transformed into his hybrid form.

"Wing Blast!" he yelled, flapping his wings as hard as he could.

This created a powerful gust of wind, causing the cannonball to veer off course and flew straight back towards Wyper. The cannonball passed through his shoulder and exploded behind him if it had been a few inches to his ride it would have killed him.

"You'll never be able to hurt me with that thing," said Hiccup.

Wyper remained quiet and fired once again, but this time he fired multiple shots. However, Hiccup merely just flat his wings back causing the cannonballs to shoot off course.


Astrid and the others had their own problems because appearing from out of nowhere was Enel sitting on the bow of the ship.

Snotlout didn't waste a single second and immediately charged at him quenching his fist, but then suddenly there was a massive bolt of lightning which fried him to a crisp.

"Snotlout!" Astrid yelled.

"Snotlout!" Fishlegs yelled.

Snotlout stood there for a few moments before he fell backwards onto the deck and he didn't move an inch. Astrid and the others quickly rushed over towards him; they just couldn't believe what just happened.

"Snotlout, snap out of it," said Ragnar.

Snotlout, however, refused to move.

"This can't be happening, it just can't be happening," said Fishlegs frantically.

Gabriel just sat there eyeing Enel without blinking, as the man himself just sat there on the bow looking somewhat amused.

Ruffnut then placed her ear against Snotlout's chest. "I can't even hear his heart beating."

"It can't be," said Astrid horrified.

Enel merely laughed. "What a foolishly angry man, if I came here today and brought pain and destruction, it would have been the first thing you felt."

"Then why are you here, Enel?" Gabriel growled.

"I expect a warm hello, it has been six years ago my former All-Father Gabriel."
