MK stood up and placed the hat on the counter. "Alright, let's get down to business." She turned to face her parents. "Of the villains we found, which one is most likely the best at archery?"

"Dagur," said Hiccup and Merida without a moment's hesitation.

Jack scoffed. "Hans wouldn't know how to string a bow even if his life depended on it."

"Ouch," said JJ and Jamie at the same time.

Hiccup shrugged and chuckled slightly. "It's true though."

Merida bobbed her head. "That it is."

"Point is, that's our culprit," said MK.

"Well, right, but the more concerning thing is, how did he get the nightmare sand?" said Jack.

"Well, if the two Sandy's and Mavis have been able to come and go without losing their memories," said Hiccup, "I guess they can too."

Jack threw up his hands. "Oh great."

"But the real mystery is, where are they now?" asked Rapunzel. "And what are they planning to do next?"

"And are all of them able to pass through, or is it just one?" asked Hiccup.

MK threw up her hands. "Ok, Ok, great questions, but we need to tackle one at a time. The most important one being where are they now."

"Well I want to know how they got into my shop!" exclaimed Sandy.

"Why don't we head over there and take a look around?" said MK. "You didn't clean up anything, right?"

Both Sandy's and Gothi shook their heads. "Nope," said Sandy. "Hiccup made absolutely sure we knew that we shouldn't."

MK let out a sigh of relief. "Good, then we can start looking for clues." She pointed at Jack. "And then I want you to show me where the attack took place. Maybe we can figure out where they could be hiding based on that."

Jack nodded. "Good idea." He stood up and held out his hand to the Onceler. "And thanks for telling us your story."

Onceler chuckled as he shook Jack's hand. "No, thank you." He picked up the hat and handed it to Jack. "And I think you had better keep this close, just in case."

"Are you sure it wouldn't be safer here?" asked Merida.

"It could be, but if you come across a villain, you should always take your chances."

"He has a point," said Hiccup, "we don't know what chances we'll get with these guys out and about."

Merida nodded. "That is true."

"Well, can someone else hold it for me? I don't want a constant connection open," said MK. "And I don't want to be carrying it around everywhere."

"I've got you," said Jack as he placed the hat on his head. He grinned. "What do you think?"

Rapunzel giggled. "I think it looks good on you." She kissed his cheek.

"Yech," said Jamie with a grimace.

"Alright, alright, we'll go. Thanks again!" said Jack as the group dashed out.

Onceler waved. "No problem! And thank you!" The group quickly got over to Sandy's, where MK, JJ, and Jamie got to see just how bad things were.

"Man, what a mess!" exclaimed Jamie as he stepped over a few pieces of broken glass. The back of the store, where the cauldron sat bubbling away, was even worse. Shelves had been toppled over, ingredients were strewn all over the countertop, and there seemed to be glass just everywhere.

"Wait, you just left this all here for the past few days?" asked JJ.

"Oh goodness, this is from this morning!" said Sandy. "Hiccup made it absolutely clear not to clean it up, so we went to Onceler's so we wouldn't clean it up." To emphasize her point, she flexed her fingers and quickly picked up a piece of glass to throw it away. "I can't stand this mess! So if you're going to look for clues, you'd better make it quick!"

MK sighed. "Fine, fine. Let me take a look around." She held up a finger. "But don't start cleaning until I say so, alright?"

"Alright, alright, just hurry!"

"Ok!" MK got to it, shifting carefully through the shards of glass. JJ and Jamie jumped in to help.

"Are we looking for anything in particular?" asked Rapunzel.

"Just anything that doesn't belong to any of you," said MK, "or just anything that looks out of place. And don't rule out anything. You never know what could end up being important."

"Ok, so, can we help?"

MK nodded. "Sure! Just be careful."

"Right." The others quickly jumped in and began looking through everything. They began cleaning up as they did so. A couple hours later, the store was clean, but there were no clues.

"Nothing stuck out to anyone?" asked MK. They all shook their heads.

"I didn't even see a fingerprint besides my own," said JJ.

MK turned to Sandy. "You keep your doors locked?"

"Well of course!" blurted Sandy.

"So then how did they get in?" asked MK

"This happened after we unlocked it for the day," said Sandy.

MK rubbed her temples and sighed. "OK, you need to give me all the information, not just bits of it at a time. Tell me everything that happened from the time you unlocked the store to the time you found this mess."

"Well, after we unlocked the store, we began getting everything set up for business. You know, turning on the register, getting the cauldron warmed up, and stocking the shelves. We were almost finished when Jack and Rapunzel showed up with the arrow. We were going to run a few tests on it." Sandy then pointed at the window. "Then the Sandman saw what he thought was a Nightmare, so he, Jack, and Rapunzel went out to investigate. I went out the back, just in case it tried to run around the building."

"And there was no one else in the store?"

Sandy and the Sandman shook their heads. "No one, which apparently was what they wanted."

"Apparently," said MK. "How long were you gone?"

"Only a few minutes," said Sandy.

"We went around the building a couple of times to make sure we didn't miss anything," explained Jack. "Except we obviously missed what was going on in here."

"How could you have known at the time it was a ruse?" asked MK. "And now that they've done it once, they might not do it again."

"I just hope they don't mess up my store ever again!" exclaimed Sandy. The Sandman nodded vigorously.

"Well, I think we've gone over everything we could here. Jack, could you show me where you were shot at?"

Jack nodded. "Sure, it's not that far from here, in fact." He waved his hand, motioning them to follow him out the door. They walked a couple blocks to an alleyway. He tapped the ground with his staff, and a path of ice appeared. "Rapunzel had already gone home, so I was taking this path to try and think of a solution." He pointed to the top of one of the buildings. "I heard something from the top of that building. I think it was the sound of a bowstring." He glanced at Merida. "I think I've heard you practicing enough times to know it pretty well by now."

"Good," said Merida.

"Anyways, next thing I know, I've got an arrow heading my way." He pointed to a hole in the wall. "I stepped out of the way in time and the arrow went into the wall. I sent out a wind to knock them down before flying up to see who it was." He pursed his lips. "But whoever shot at me, even though we're sure it had to have been Dagur, was gone."

"How is that even possible, though?" asked Hiccup. "You're a fast flyer. I mean, I know Dagur can be fast, but not that fast."

"How would he get in and out, anyways?" asked JJ.

"See, that's the thing . . ." Jack paused, and his eyes widened. "Unless . . ."

The others looked at him expectantly. "Unless what?" asked Hiccup.

"Drago had a cloak of dragon scales, right?"

"Uh, yeah." Hiccup's eyes widened as he gasped. "Of Nightfury scales! No one should be able to see you at night!"

"He was hiding under the cloak on the roof!" Jack quickly flew up the roof and disappeared from view for a few minutes before coming back to the edge. "Yeah! There was this mound here last night, but now it's gone! That had to have been him! Oh, I'm so stupid!"

"Dad, you were just attacked and didn't know about Drago or Dagur being here at the time, how could you have guessed?" said JJ.

"He's got a point," said Hiccup.

Jack let out a breath. "True, but, still, even then I thought the mound looked out of place."

"Well, now that we have all that figured out," said MK, "now we just have to figure out where they could be hiding."

"The cave where we found Rapunzel?" asked Jamie. "I mean, grandma."

"Yeah, but Eret and Gobber would have seen them then," said Hiccup, and we haven't heard anything from either of them."

"There might be another entrance to that cave that we don't know about," said Merida. "We haven't explored it fully."

Jack flew back to the ground. "She's right. Besides, someone had to have put those nasty vines into place, because I certainly didn't, and I know Mavis didn't either."

Mavis shook her head. "No, I definitely didn't."

"You know," said Merida, "the fact that someone else might have a hand in this spell might be the reason why we haven't gone back home yet. We need to break that part of the spell too before we can."

Hiccup ran his fingers through his hair and let out a breath. "Which would make sense, we just need to find out what we need to do to break it now." He glanced at Jack.

Jack put up his hands. "Don't look at me, not everything gets a prophecy."

Hiccup rolled his eyes. "Go figure."

MK sighed. "But this also means that we can't exactly follow any clues to their location. Dagur could have gone anywhere once Jack left." There was a moment of silence as everyone glanced down.

"But if there is another opening to the cave, where would it be?" asked Hiccup. He glanced at Jamie and Mavis. "You two probably know the layout of this city better than anyone. Do you have any ideas?"

The two glanced at each other before slowly shaking their heads. "There's no place I can think of," said Mavis.

"Neither can I," said Jamie, "and I've explored this city dozens of times."

"Well, obviously the only answer is that it's hidden so well that no one's been able to find it," said Jack with a shrug. "I guess we're going to have to do some looking."

Merida groaned. "And we have no clue where to start! This could take us forever!"

"Guys! Hey guys! JJ!"

JJ looked down the street. "Rex?" The green dinosaur was running towards them, followed by Slinky.

"Uh guys, we've got a situation at the Town Hall," said Slinky.

"There's a big, bad bear tearing everything up!" exclaimed Rex. "Woody, Buzz, and the others are holding him off, but they need help!"

Merida gasped, her eyes widening. "Mordu!"
