Fishlegs was currently riding the waver, and it was a lot more powerful than the one he rode back on Valkyrie Beach.

"It's amazing," said Polo astonished.

"You're incredible, Fishlegs!" Arial cheered.

"She's all yours now, as good as new," said Polo.

"Yeah, thanks," said Fishlegs smiling up at them. "I don't know what you did, but I love it. This bigger so fast it's crazy."

"It's true," Polo nodded. "And jet dial went extinct hundreds of years ago; it's really quite astonishing. Imagine how shocked I was to find one aboard the waver you left."

"Shouldn't be much of a surprise, we did find a wrecked ship that was hundreds of years old," Astrid pointed out.

Polo then looked at them grimly. "I think that we're running out of things to occupy ourselves with. We had planned to lead all of you to the end of Skypiea, but it seems our circumstances have changed."

"I guess the best thing to do is to get the ship to the coast where we all agreed to meet," Astrid deduced she helped Fishlegs aboard. "There's no reason to worry; I'm sure they're fine. When the four of them get together, there's practically no stopping them."

"There aren't any four-man groups," said Aisa as she huddled herself in the corner. "At most, there may be two, if there were a four-man group on the island, I would know about it, and I don't."

"It's Mantra," said Fishlegs. "That's the power that Enel and his Gothars use, huh?"

Aisa began to cry. "I was born able to use it, that's right… that's why I'm so afraid. You have no idea how scary it is to hear voices disappear."

Fishlegs approached her. "You're not crying again, are you?"

Aisa quickly rubbed her eyes, brushing away the tears. "No, I am not crying! You stupid Blue Sea person!"

"The waver had broken down, luckily our boat happened to pass by," Arial explained. "If we hadn't gotten to her when we did, she would have been eaten by a sky shark."

Astrid looked at Aisa in disbelief. "What were you thinking coming out here by yourself?"

"I don't know, but I couldn't keep sitting around doing nothing," said Aisa. "Rachel and everybody…"

Then suddenly they heard some explosions close by.

"I hope everybody is all right," said Astrid now looking concerned.


Hiccup was still inside the cave wondering, try to find a way out.

"What a day," he sighed. "I'm starting to get hungry, and I left my bag outside this stupid cave, and there doesn't appear to be anything edible in here. What kind of mess up cave have I ended up in any way? Can't seem to find an exit anywhere, I wonder if everyone else is made into the City of Gold."

Hiccup then kept on walking, as there was nothing else he could do.


Toothless was completely lost, with all the fighting he'd been doing he had been turned completely around.

"Feels like been walking forever," he said. "Think I should have lunch now."

He then sat down and opened his backpack and pulled out the lunch that Ragnar had made.

He heard movement behind him as he ate and then quickly drew Light Fury. "Who's there!"

He then suddenly saw that he was face-to-face with the giant South Bird, which then squawked at him.

"Sorry big guy, I don't speak bird," said Toothless. "If it's my food you're after, you're not getting it."

Toothless then began to gulp down his lunch, but even after that, the South Bird continue to follow him as he walked.

"Would you stop following me?" Toothless growled.

The south bird, whose hair was now pointing backwards, merely squawked.

"Listen, feather brain; I just told you I have no more food, and even if I did, I would give you any!" Toothless snapped. "So will you just beat it?"

The south bird just continued walking and squawking.


Enel meanwhile was still wondering on the island pondering deeply.

'In three hours, a mere five of the 84 people on this island will be left standing,' he said as he walked. 'There's only one hour left until my proclaimed time is up and 26 survivors currently remain.'

Heidi up in one of the trees was a vanir warrior, and he had just spotted Enel.

'This can't be,' he said. 'What's Enel doing here? He's going down!'

He jumped out of his hiding spot with his rifle at the ready, but Enel had disappeared. However, he had reappeared directly behind the warrior and then a few moments later, he was struck by a bolt of lightning.

"And now 25," he said.


Heather was still battling against Yama, but at the moment it was completely one-sided. Heather did not want to damage any of the ruins; the same cannot be said for Yama, who was destroying everything in his wake.

"Well, it seems all your talk doesn't amount to much," said Yama and then jumped into the air. "Rock Mountain!"

Heather quickly jumped to the side just before Yama slammed into the ground, creating a small crater with his weight. Yama give her time to recover and then thrust his leg towards her.

Heather tried to back away, but she ended up backing up towards a monument. "A runic statue!"

She then quickly placed her hands together. "Twenty Flowers! Marigold!"

Sprouting from each of her arms were ten extra arms and encircled one another like a shield. She then placed herself as Yama kicked her, but the force behind it was enough to knock it on the ground though she was able to save the statue.

"How long are you going to insist on protecting this withered, good for nothing old city?" he said.

"Indefinitely," she said. "Why must you disrespect what our ancestors held so sacred?"

"The past has nothing to do with me, so why should I care?"

"That doesn't surprise me, only the foolish say such things."

"How dare you insult someone so powerful?" Yama roared. "Super Punch Mountain!"

He then swung his fist at Heather in a blind rage, but she quickly jumped back and avoided it.

'I've got a getaway from these ruins before this simpleton destroys what is left of them,' she said.

She then began running away from the ruins as Yama kept on attacking her. Of course, he was still destroying the ruins as they fled, and there was nothing that Heather could do to stop him, at least not yet.

As she ran, Heather's mind focused on the Runeglyph in Alabasta. 'Back then, I believe that my quest had been lost. My dreams were barely along with the underground temple of Alabasta. Having lost everything, I chose to travel with Hiccup, but these ruins could hold the clues of an unspoken history that's been lost to the world below.'

Yama now wasn't only destroying things with his body, but now he was taking rubble at Heather. She managed to dodge the attack, but the ruins weren't so lucky in the was slowly being demolished.

Heather kept on running deeper into the forest, trying to put as much distance from them and the ruins as possible.

All of this running was starting to annoy Yama. "How long do you plan on running!"

He kept on chasing after her destroying yet more of the ruins in his path; he was even trying to restrain himself. Heather wished she could do something destroy all this destruction, but running was the only thing she could do.

She eventually came to a stop when they appeared in the clearing overlooking a cliff.

"I don't understand it," said Yama. "You've finally decided to face me?"

"Yes," said Heather dropping her rucksack on the ground. "It's too late for you."

"Too late?" Yama frowned.

Heather then removed her hat. "Even if you choose to repent, I won't forgive you."

"Oh, you won't forgive me?" said Yama. "I see, all because of those shabby old ruins you adore. A pile of rubble that doesn't even belong to you?"

"That's right; those ruins don't belong to anyone," she said, dropping her hat on her rucksack. "I grow tired of this, and I'm tired of talking to you."

"Well, not to worry," said Yama as he took up his fighting stance. "In a few short moments, you won't have to talk to me ever again! Because unfortunately, you're going to be trusted underneath me!"

He then jumped into the air and began to spin around. "Rock Mountain!"

Heather then crossed her arms together. "I can unleash all of my power in this place. Thirty Flowers!"

Thirty flowers then sprouted from a vine above them, and the hands immediately grabbed hold of Yama's fees while he was in midair.

"All you do is charge around like a clumsy bull, with no regard of the weight of the history you destroy!" Heather spat as she swung him towards the tree. "Hang!"

Yama slammed into the tree, but it is sheer weight was putting a lot of strain on Heather's arms. Despite the fact they weren't connected to her body, she still felt any pain inflicted on them.

"His body is too heavy," she said was forced to release him.

Yama then fell towards the ground and slammed into the ground headfirst. While the attack did do a number on him, he wasn't quite through with Heather just yet. He then started a somersault to water and pulled out his sash covered in axe dials.

"I'll shred you to ribbons!" he yelled. "Ten-Fold Axe Mountain!"

However, Heather merely raised her hand, suddenly arms sprouted on his face, and they immediately covered up his eyes.

"My eyes, I can't see!" he yelled.

While his eyes were covered, Heather had sprouted more arms along his fat body, and they immediately flipped his sash so that the dials were now pointing towards him. Once that was done, she uncovered Yama's eyes, and they widened when he realised what she had done.

"What are you doing?" he panicked. "Why did you turn the dials around backwards, you're going to kill me!"

There was no way for him to stop himself in midair and so he slammed into the tree. The moment he did the dials activated and began cutting right through his body. Seconds later, he fell down on the ground, barely able to stay conscious.

Heather then bent down and grabbed his head; she then sprouted multiple hands across his head and lifted him up.

"What you have carelessly destroyed were priceless treasures, relics so rare it will be next to impossible to measure the actual worth," she scolded. "It's true that history may repeat itself, but people can't go back in time. A stupid brute like you, wouldn't understand that."

"I—I, uh—I understand," said Yama overwhelmed by fear. "Please—please… I'm sorry, won't you forgive me?"

"That's out of the question."

"Well, in that case…" Yama then used the last of his strength in order to grab her. "… I'll have to kill you then, won't I!"

Heather just looked at him calmly and swung her few arms in order to grasp his fingers. There was a massive cracking sound indicating that she had broken his fingers and he cried out in pain.

"My fingers! My fingers!" he yelled.

"Hundred Flowers!" said Heather a hundred hands sprouted on the ground creating up at. "Delphinium!"

Yama found himself utterly helpless as hands began to roll him down the cliff, and moments later, he shot off the edge and fell down to the forest below.

"I'm afraid it's far too late for that," said Heather.

As if falling from the top of the cliff wasn't punishment enough, arms began to sprout all along Yama's body and began to strangle him.

"Can't breathe," he said as he started to lose consciousness.

"Clutch!" said Heather, and moments later, there was a massive cracking sound ringing through the forest followed by an enormous bang.

Heather then picked up both her hand and her rucksack. "That was certainly unpleasant."


A few moments later, she made her way to the rendezvous point, and the moment she was there, she began to study the old buildings. However, something wasn't quite right with the layout of all the buildings.

"This should be the centre of the city, but it doesn't match up at all with the map on the monument," Heather frowned. "I wonder the entire city was broken up when it was thrusted into the sky?"

She then made her way to one of the buildings; it was overgrown with vines and very dark. So not to lose her way she pressed her hand against the left side of the wall.

As she walked, she remembered her confrontation with King Cobra back at Alabasta. She had thought that the Runeglyph in Alabasta would be her last shot at discovering the truth, but that didn't appear to be the case anymore.

She eventually reached the exit in a new area covered with even more ruins, which was sitting next to the giant beanstalk. She began to study the place and come across some writing, and what appeared to be a temple wall, she jotted down all the writing in her notebook and then began to study the layout of the city.

She sat down on the steps of the temple, which appear to be the highest point in the city, and then began going through her notebook. The layout of the city was entirely out of whack with what was described the monument, and she was trying to figure it out.

'It's so strange, could this really be the city of gold?' she frowned. 'The size and the topography are all completely different.' She then looked up at the temple where the only entrance was located. 'And what's most unnatural of all, the only entrance is at the top.'

She then rose to her feet and start to climb up when idea lit up in her head.

"Could it be?" she said and then rushed up towards the top.


Once inside, she began cutting away at the cloud inside the temple; she used a knife in order to cut through the cloud into blocks. She then used her powers to sprout several arms in a way that would lift all the blocks out of her way.

It was tiring work, but then suddenly she sank slightly, warning her that she was reaching the bottom. She opened the cloud slightly and saw a lower level to the temple.

"I think I can go below," she said.

She then cut away the cloud and then jumped down, normally a fall like that would be enough to break one's legs were found to the cloud it was like falling onto a cushion. She then used one of her arms above a toss down her rucksack and hacked and then she took a closer look at the chamber she found herself in.

The chamber was much bigger than the one on top, and there were multiple side entrances as well.

"It's so vast," she said. "The ruins really do go much deeper. I thought it was bizarre that all these Blue Sea ruins had island clouds for ground. The ruins above are nothing more than the upper parts of the city eaten up by island clouds. There is still more below."

To that end, she made her way down the steps of the temple going further down below. The temple was massive; she could only imagine what it was like when people lived here, but now it was filled with vegetation, and you have to cut away from most of it with her knife. She kept on walking until she saw and liked bleeding outside.

"Light!"

She then immediately rushed outside as quickly she could, so fast she failed to watch where she was going. She started last-second realising that she nearly ran off what appeared to be a window, but then she sought.

Staring at her was a vast ancient city, beginning anything she had ever seen before. It was still mostly intact; only a few buildings had crumbled, and the vegetation was starting to consume it, but otherwise, it was beautiful.

"It's also incredible," she said as she sat there in wonder. "The ancient city collapsed 800 years ago; I can hardly believe it's been that long. It's still so majestic and grand; I've actually found it this really is Vanaheim, the City of Gold."

She then rose to her feet and began walking down the temple steps, taking in the majestic city that surrounded her. Everything was made entirely from stone from the houses to the street all the way to the carvings and statues, but then she found something that ultimately took her breath away.

"It can't be," she said as her eyes fell upon glyphs carved into the wall in front of her. "The ancient Runeglyphs symbols, so the vanir were familiar with them. But only the ones you were able to make the Runeglyphs were able to reap. 'We shall know the true meaning and utter it to no one. It is a legacy to be the inheritors of history, with the sounding of the grand belfry.' That's right; I remember in Noah's old logbook mentoring a giant bell being here. But if that's true, where could it be?"

She then began to ponder on it. 'All the city's ancient writing were burnt in a fire. The entire history of this place was eradicated. A Runeglyph was carried into the city; there's no question about it. The city faced great hostility, Vanaheim the mythical city of gold fought and failed to protect that Runeglyph and that means the grand belfry located in the centre of the four altars… it could contain the text of the true history, could be the Runeglyph.'
