Hey guys and gals, CMBasher7 here with Chaper 9 out, and boy, did this gave me the LAST LAUGH! We are almost finished with Season 1, just only 4 more episodes left.
Now answer me this: Tell me where should I go? To the left, where nothing is right, or to the right, where nothing is left...?(This is a reference, if you get it 10 points).
Please remember, Ben 10 is owned by Man of Action and Httyd is owned by Little Brown and Dreamworks. I can only own things if they are my own.
Now with that out of the way, lets begin the episode with a good joke...At a Amusement park Pier in Berk...
It's late at night in Berk, but the people are enjoying the night at the annual Amusement Park by or on the dock that sits high above the water with its carnival tents and large Ferris wheel-like ride.
Below the docks of Berk, where no one would notice 2 low-down crooks are on a row boat, both of them coming back from sinking an empty ship with no one noticing yet.
"Knocking over that ship was a piece of cake." The red hornless Viking helmet-wearing Viking said to his partner in crime.
"Heh heh heh!" "Ha ha ha!" The two low-down crooks laughed.
The red hornless Viking helmet-wearing Viking looked over the small row boat as he saw bubbles rise up and two glowing green eyes.
"Aah!" The red helmet Viking crook screamed as a 4-digit clawed, webbed hand then grabbed his face, pulled him out of the boat and into the water.
The all midnight black wearing Viking looked to see where his partner went, only to find nothing, as he went near to where his partner was to see where he went as he saw the floating red helmet of his partner as a figure popped out of the water.
The figure looked liked a humanoid fish out of water, it had a green wire sticking out of its forehead with a pale light green glow at the end, its mouth has razor sharp, curved teeth and its eyes are a pale green color.
This is the Villages Runt/Hero, Hiccup as the Piscciss Volann, Ripjaws.
Ripjaws slowly swims up to the low-down crook as said crook climbs back up the ladder, slipping a bit, trying to escape this...this... FREAK!
Ripjaws looks at the escaping crook, who had finally reached the now crowded docks, and dives deep below the docks.
The crook is running for his life as Ripjaws is silently and safely chasing after the crook from below.
The crook looks behind to see if Ripjaws actually followed him, as the Villagers of Berk look on curious on why he is running and out of breath, the villagers of Berk will once again get their answer.
A huge pillar of Water bursts up from the side of the dock as Ripjaws lands on the dock and slowly walks towards the crook, as said crook backs up into a pork cooking cart, with the owner running away, and he runs behind it.
"Aargh!" The crook grunts as he pushes the cart onto its side, spilling some of the pork and flammable oil.
Ripjaws sees some of the oil coming near him and slightly moves back as the oil has now surrounded him as an electrical wire touches the oil and causes it to ignite and the fire encircles our Alien Shapeshifting Hero.
Ripjaws sees the fire has now encircled him, except for his small circle as he gasps, trapped in a literal ring of Fire.
Planets are orbiting space as tiny strands of DNA floats across the cosmos.
Guitar Solo*
~It started when an alien device did what it did. And stuck itself upon his wrist with secrets that it hid.~Hiccup is seen reaching for the Omnitrix as it jumps up and clamps onto his arm as he tries to get it off. Then his arm gets covered in red rocks.
~Now he's got super powers, he's no ordinary kid.~Hiccup is seen having transformed into Ghostfreak scaring Snotlout, Ruffnut, and Tuffnut turning their skin ghostly pale white. Then into Grey Matter working on a robot.
~He's Hiccup~
~Hiccup~~Hiccup~
~So if you see him you might be in for a BIG surprise. He'll turn into an alien before your very eyes.~A figure, resembling Hiccup but 15 years older, is seen transforming into a Giant 100ft tall pure-white Human. Then into a giant humanoid Tiger, then a blue moth, a Huge Dinosaur, A crab with a large brain, a sentient pile of green goo, an army of white MP3 players, a nanoscopic robot, and many, many, many more.

~Hiccup! (10x)~10: Heatblast
Hiccup is then seen doing so many heroic acts; such as destroying golems, fighting aliens, blasting off as Heatblast, etc.
Hiccup is now posing with a Black Dragon with Green eyes behind him and showing off the Omnitrix with a title next to him saying...
"HICCUP HADDOCK, WIELDER OF THE OMNITRIX!"Back to where we left off...
Ripjaws was surrounded by a ring of fire as the Crook smiled at the fish-like humanoid alien.
"Got to LOVE an old-fashioned FISH fry!" The crook joked.
Ripjaws took a big massive gasp for air, but he couldn't breathe the air now as the fire was making it harder to breathe so he needed water.
"Hey! Can't breathe." Ripjaws shouted as he gripped his gills. "Water... water..." Ripjaws gasped for water.
'Dang it, should of known that my aliens might have some weaknesses with their strength, I really got to make a note of what my aliens weakness are, if I survive that is.' Hiccup thought to himself still gasping for water like air.
Ripjaws fell to the floor gasping for water to breathe as the fire still continued to burn all of the water on his skin to steam.
Ripjaws then gets an idea to kill two birds with one stone, or in this case, One Crook, One Dock and one punch. He punches a hole in the dock big enough for him to fit through and jumps into the water, escaping the fire and saving his life.
"Haah!" Ripjaws gasped in relief as he got water now and had barely escaped.
Back on the dock, the crook now continues his escape, but not before long as he feels a powerful rumble beneath him as Ripjaws torpedoes himself out of the water and onto the dock with the crook in-between his powerful jaws as Ripjaws then swings the crook into a Hit-the-can carnival game, knocking both all the cans and the crook down.
Later...
The Berserkers arrive to take the two crooks, the red one being hung up by his undies on the rim of the dock, and taking them to a low-class cell, one where they can't escape, but can still be imprisoned.
"I don't care what anybody says." A Berserker Viking with a gruff accent said. "You circus freaks are OK by me." He said to Ripjaws.
Ripjaws was confused by this, Circus freak? He's not a circus freak, he's a superhero.
"Circus freak? I'm not a circus freak. I'm a superhero." Ripjaws proudly said to the Berserkian as he then jumps into the water to return to Gobber before he transforms back.
The Berserkian looks over the railings to see Ripjaws leaving.
"Hmm. Looked like a freak to me." The Berserkian said outloud to himself.
After Hiccup had turned back with no one noticing him, Gobber announced he was taking the kids on a boat trip with their parents permission. So right now the boat trip consisted of Astrid, Fishlegs, Snotlout, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Heather and Hiccup with Gobber as their caretaker for the night.
Each of the teens had a reason to go.
Astrid, due to her wanting to be with some people she knows and maybe spend sometimes with Hiccup.
Fishlegs, due to Hiccup giving him new ideas and techniques he could write down for the Heroes of the Archipelago and to have some fun.
Snotlout, to bully Fishlegs and Hiccup and to charm Astrid and Heather since they were coming along.
Ruffnut, to bully Tuffnut.
Tuffnut, to bully Ruffnut.
Heather, to talk with Astrid some more and keep Hiccups' secret a secret, unless he wants to reveal it to them himself.
And Hiccup, due to Astrid coming along, Help Fishlegs write new techniques, and he was curious where they were heading to for the night.
All of them were on the Rust Bucket heading towards their destination which is an unnamed, but inhabited, island.
Heather and Astrid looked out of the Starboard side seeing a sign on a little island as they sailed through the little village.
The sign featured blue painted boards, with bubbles on the side with large yellow text and small red text, in the middle was a head, the head was human, He looked like a Gudleikr, otherwise known as a fool, joker, or jester. He has wild red hair and pale skin. He had a cruel and grim purple smile with yellow teeth, and on his head was a black top hat-like helmet with no horns, a light blue sphere that is encircled by a black outline, just above the visor of the top hat-like helmet.
"Zombozo's Traveling Circus of Laughs"?" Astrid read the sign with the 6 out of the 7 kids looking out also seeing the sign.
"Cool!" The Twins shouted, they liked the circus it was like the people there were the grandchildren of Loki himself, they were Loki's undying worshippers, but these guys were his grandkids.
"I haven't been to a circus since I was a boyo yur age." Gobber said to the kids. "Sounds like fun. What do yu guys think?" He asked.
"I love the circus." Ruffnut said proudly.
"That's because you, Tuffnut, and Snotlout belong in one." Hiccup muttered as the other children heard him.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Ruffnut growled in anger. "Usually it would be Tuffnut to make that comment."
"Hiccup." Gobber said to his sort-of nephew.
"Nah, it's fine, Circus is kid's stuff." Hiccup said like he was hiding something.
"- Hello? - What are we?" Tuffnut asked raising an eyebrow, confused by the Runt of the Village sudden attitude towards the circus.
"*Yaawn* Besides, it's pretty late." Hiccup said yawning, like he REALLY didn't want to go to the circus.
"Hiccup, it's 11:00 in the mornin'." Gobber said looking at the Hunter's built-in clock.
Hiccup knowing his attempt has failed, begrudgingly agrees to go to the circus.
"Fine by me. OK, all right. You guys want to see some stupid circus, fine." Hiccup said as the other 6 kids and Gobber look at each other, two of them (those being Astrid and Heather) being worried for Hiccup.
Gobber then sails towards their side-trip spot for tonight and heading towards Zombozo's Traveling Circus of Laughs not knowing this little side trip won't be for laughs, but for screams...
People were entering the circus, with their boats parked in the large lake with multiple rivers that lead to their homes or to the sea. It looked like everyone in the village had shown up for the show.
"Ooh. Looks like the entire village's turned out for the show." Gobber said walking with Astrid, Heather, Hiccup, Fishlegs, Snotlout, Ruffnut, and Tuffnut inside the huge circus tent.
Hiccup looked to his left and saw the face of the show leader, Zombozo's creepy smile and face staring right into his soul, it got him more freaked out due to the eyes almost following him. He looked to his right and saw Zombozo's creepy glare and smile once again, creeping him out once again.
"It's probably sold out by now. A-And We're probably just wasting our time being here." Hiccup said with a forced smile.
The crowd of people, the gang included, heard the sound of spotlights turning on.
"Step right up and see the fingerless freak of nature, whose strength knows no bounds! Thumbskull!" The tiny ring leader said pointing to a hulking figure.
The hulking figure that would probably intimidate Stoick himself was a human, but didn't look like one. He is muscular, with his chin much larger and is bald. He has a giant toenail on his bald forehead, his knuckles, chest, and his only 1-digit toes. This is the brawn muscular toenailer, Thumbskull.
Thumbskull carries with him, what looked to be at least 105 lb. pole with him behind his neck as he then bend the metal within one go.
The crowd was amazed by his feat of strength as Thumbskull showed the crowd the proof of his superhuman strength, before tossing it into the air as a figure caught it with their hair.
"And presenting Frightwig. When this youthful beauty let's down her hair, no telling what could happen." The ring leader said.
The figure was a 10 year old girl with pale skin and black paint on her cheeks and back of her head. She is wearing a black tight-fitting jumpsuit with yellow stripes on the arms. She has multiple orange-red tentacle-like hair and flat shoes. Her eyes are olive green. This is the hair-tastic femme fatal, Frightwig.(1)
Frightwig bends the metal pole with her tentacle-like hair into a circle, before setting it on an anvil.
"And last but not least, the freak whose unique skill is as vile as his attitude, Acid Breath!" The ring leader said as a figure wearing an muzzle walked out from the curtains.
The figure was a man with wrinkly, pale skin. He has red eyes with different-sized pupils, and little bits of straight black hair poking out of the top of his head. His outfit is black with bright yellow stripes on his arms and he has a little bit of a hunch back. This is the acidic back-talker, Acid Breath.
Acid Breath removes his asylum muzzle from his face as his jaw unhinges like that of a snake, his is missing most of his teeth and his gums are green.
Acidic green smoke flows from out of his mouth and melts both the metal pile and anvil to a melting black.
"Whoa!" The Twins and the audience awed.
"Gross!" Astrid said grossed out by Acid Breath's ability.
Hiccup leaves the area and goes looking around. He sees a small blue tent with orange curtains with a wooden sign on top, in what looks like blood red paint, saying 'KEEP OUT'.
Hiccup is a little curious and peeks inside the tent, the sign said KEEP OUT, but it never said PEEK IN. What he saw, freaks him out as he sees the clown himself, Herbert J. Zombozo, or to everyone else, just Zombozo.
"Ha ha ha! Howdy, folks!" Zombozo practicing his lines.
Zombozo is a clown-like Male human, he has the same features like on his sign, except without his hat, he wears a striped purple and grey jumpsuit, matching his bow tie, with 2 metal spikes on his shoulders, there is also a plug-in on his back. He also wears big black clown shoes and fingerless gloves. He also has a hole showing off his rib cage, and 3 flies laying around him. (2)
"Are you ready to laugh? Perfect." Zombozo said to his reflection "You're gonna knock them dead. Ahh!" He said as he asked laced his top hat back on as his unnaturally long tounge slid out of his mouth and between his yellow teeth. "Ha ha ha!" He laughed as Hiccup backs away from the tent
He kept backing up until he walks into somebody.
"Hey!" The figure grabbed Hiccup's attention.
"Aah!" Hiccup screamed in fear, only to calm down to realize that it's just Heather. "Don't do that." He said to his half-cousin as he placed his hand in her shoulder and heavily breathed.
"What is your malfunction?" Heather asked, confusing Hiccup, as she removed Hiccups' hand from her shoulder gently.
"What do you mean?" Hiccup asked his half-cousin as she explained to him what is his deal.
"Ever since we decided to go to the circus, you've been acting even weirder than normal." Heather summed up what has been happening. "What are you scared of?" She asked crossing her arms together.
"I'm not scared of anything." Hiccup lied.
"Come on, guys, the show is about to start." Gobber said rounding the corner as he told Astrid to make sure they find a seat for them while keeping in charge of Fishlegs, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, and Snotlout.
"After you." Heather offered Hiccup, as the latter walks ahead to the big tent.
A light shone on top of the small ring leader.
"Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages, the circus of laughter is proud to present the sultan of smiles, the crown chief of chuckles, that rib tickler himself, the star of our circus, Zombozo the Gudleikr!" The ring leader announced to the audience and the gang within the circus as an extremely small car-like vehicle drove out into the center with comical music playing in the background.
The extremely small pink car-like vehicle stopped with its back wheel reaching the air before landing on the ground.
The driver door opened and out came the foot of Zombozo as he somehow managed to fit himself within the extremely tiny vehicle.
The audience was laughing at the cartoony properties of the master Gudleikr himself.
"Ha ha ha!" Astrid, Fishlegs, Gobber, Heather, Ruffnut, Snotlout, and Tuffnut and the rest of the audience laughed at the Gudleikr, all except Hiccup who looked on with fear at Zombozo.
The vehicle that Zombozo was driving in, came to life and started to drive ITSELF away to the other side, like a bull.
Zombozo sees that his ride is ready to fight him as he looks surprised at first before smiling and doing the 'bring it on, like Donkey Kong' gesture.
The vehicle starts its engine again as Zombozo summons forth a red Matador cape with Matador music playing, smiling all the while, as the vehicle drives forwards like an angry bull.
Zombozo pushes the red cape forwards towards the vehicle as said vehicle has now turned into smoke and confetti.
"Ha ha ha!" The audience, except Hiccup, laughs loudly at the funny act that was pulled.
"If you love Gudleikrs, then this is the place to be." Zombozo said as a large machine was behind him, but the audience didn't see it. "You're gonna DIE laughing." He said.
The machine was massive with 5 light blue spheres the same as Zombozo's hat, it looks almost like a 5-eyed metal octopus, with 3 wheels, 2 hand-like protrusions as a LOT of pipes reaching towards the top of the building.
The 5 spheres that look a lot like Zombozo's hat, glowed dimly as Zombozo still smiles.
"And That's a Zombozo guarantee." Zombozo said as the audience still is laughing.
"I gotta go... get some chicken." Hiccup quickly lied to leave the area as fast as he could.
The Kids of Berk and Gobber watched as Hiccup left the Big Tent.
"Is Hiccup all right?" Gobber asked Snotlout and Heather.
"You're asking me?" Snotlout looked at Gobber. "I stopped trying to figure him out a long time ago." He said not caring for his cousin.
Heather just shrugs not knowing the answer to the question.
They turn back to continue watching the show.
"I was never very good at math, but I believe I have your UN-divided attention." Zombozo puns to the audience as they continued laughing. "Now, how about some volunteers?" He asked the audience.
"Ahh. Ha ha ha ha!" The audience laughs or chuckles at the Gudleikr, but non more so than Astrid and Heather.
"So full of life..." Zombozo said grinning all the while.
Within Astrid and Heather's eyes Zombozo's Figure is shown within their pupil smiling creepily.
"for now." Zombozo cryptically said as the lights went out.
Hiccup was now outside the Big Tent of Zombozo's act. He was also heavily breathing like he was afraid of something.
"There is nothing funny about Gudleikrs." Hiccup said looking back at the tent.
Hiccup then heard the sound of glass breaking as he went to go check it out. He hid behind a small black boat that is parked on the shore, as he looked over the boat he saw something his eyes couldn't believe.
"Ah." Hiccup gasped as he saw 3 figures.
The 3 figures were Thumbskull, Acid Breath, and Frightwig all on the other side of the parking lake, all of them ROBBING the villages' jewelry.
Acid Breath walk towards the smashed jewelry store window. As the others are ready to steal their stolen prize.
"Whoa!" Hiccup gasped shocked. "The freaks are felons!" Hiccup said not scared of the Circus Trio.
Hiccup looks behind the other side of his hiding spot as Thumbskull grabs a handful of jewelry, some of it dropping to the floor. Acid Breath uses his ability to melt a boat to see if there are any witnesses on or within the boats and steals some silver from the boat. Frightwig uses her hair to pull a coin despenser around and out of the building's wall.
"It's payday! Ha ha ha!" Frightwig laughs at her own joke.
"Time to play fetch." Hiccup said seeing that he has seen enough.
Hiccup activates the Omnitrix as the dial popped up as a black outline of Wildmutt appears. He slams his hand on the dial as a bright green flash of light engulfed his whole body.
Thumbskull is stealing some chest as he hears the sound of an animal growling before he gasps in shock as he sees the Vulpimancer, Wildmutt, has arrived to stop them.
"Yyyeeeeaaaagggggghhhhh!" Wildmutt roars with slobber in his mouth. "Aaaagh! Aaaagh!" Wildmutt threateningly warns the Toenailed freak.
"Good doggy! D-Down, boy." Thumbskull tries to calm the Vulpimancer as he backs up slowly in fear.
"Ggrraaah! Grrreeeeh!" Wildmutt speaks as he pounces off the car and tackles at the hulking Toenailer Thief, making the latter drop the chest.
Wildmutt then sprints off him and towards Acid Breath and Frightwig, as the former uses his acidic back-talking mouth only to be body slammed by the massive Alien Dog as Wildmutt jumps off his face as Frightwig uses her hair grabbing Wildmutt, but only to be pulled along for a ride.
"Unh!" The 10 year old female thief grunted as she hit the ground before she let go of the Superhero.
Wildmutt jumped onto a familiar pink car-like vehicle, rips the roof off with his bare paw making all the money they stole spill out.
"Hey, that's our stuff!" Thumbskull said getting angry at this Orange-haired failed experiment dog.
"No mutt's gonna steal my loot." Acid Breath said as he got up. "Get Him!" He shouted to his thieving teammates.
Acid Breath then used his powers to try and melt the Alien Shapeshifter as Wildmutt senses him and jumped out of the way in time as their vehicle melted.
The trio of thieves looked shocked as Wildmutt had fell from the sky and in the center of the trio of circus thieves, before spinning to his left and throwing a left curve at Thumbskull, Frightwig got up as Wildmutt turned around to face the little girl as she fearfully backed away.
"Yaaaaaggghh!" Wildmutt roared at the young girl before sprinting to her as Thumbskull and Acid Breath had gotten up once more.
"Don't just stand there like a sore thumb. Get the boss!" Acid Breath told Thumbskull as the latter ran to get their boss, as the former ran to help Frightwig.
"Ha ha ha!" The audience continued to laugh as neon-like lights shone pictures of popcorn, pin-like rocks, and so much more.
"Ha ha ha." Gobber, Fishlegs, Astrid, Snotlout, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, and Heather all laughed or chuckled from the show as Zombozo was enjoying their positive energy.
"Ha ha ha ha." Zombozo quietly chuckled in happiness. "Laughter truly IS the best medicine...for me!" He joked as the audience continued to laugh at the very terrible pun.
"Ha ha ha!" Everyone continued laughing.
Thumbskull then walks behind the boss telling him that they got a problem.
"Uh, excuse me, boss. Excuse me." Thumbskull tried to get the attention of their boss.
Zombozo sees that this toe-nailed freak won't leave him alone so he answers him with an annoyed look on his face.
"How many times have I told you NOT to bother me while I'm eating?" Zombozo angrily questioned to Thumbskull as he lowered himself to this tiny brained, toenail covered freak of a henchman.
"Uh... we ran into a bit of trouble." Thumbskull stuttered, afraid of Zombozo.
Zombozo just looks at Thumbskull with wide eyes before lowering his head in fury and anger, ready to deal with whatever his henchmen are in trouble now.
The battle between Wildmutt vs. Frightwig and Acid Breath was basically one-sided as Frightwig and Acid Breath were slammed into the ground and held there by Wildmutt.
"Unh!" Frightwig grunted as she was slammed and held there by Wildmutts' giant paw.
Suddenly a hat flipping behind him appeared as a thick cloud of smoke and confetti appeared as Zombozo had just arrived on the scene with his creepy smile as he had his hands pointing downwards (like you see when businessmen do this) with Thumbskull walking right behind him.
Wildmutt was petrified when Zombozo arrived.
"I hear you're full of tricks, little doggy." Zombozo creepily said as Wildmutt started to slowly and fearfully back away from the creepy Gudleikr. "Let's see if you know how to play dead." Zombozo said as he then kicked Wildmutt in his beastial chin before karate chopping him into a water tower.
Zombozo and his thieving trio slowly walked up as Wildmutt stood up and saw Zombozo slowly approaching him.
Wildmutt whined as he hid behind the leg of the water tower in fear.
"This isn't a mad dog. It's a scaredy-cat!" Zombozo shouted seeing the attitude that Wildmutt was presenting to him.
Thumbskull scratched his head confused as Wildmutt wasn't scared of them when he was fighting, but is petrified when Zombozo arrived.
Frightwig looked annoyed and was stumped on why this beast was fine with them, but terrified of their boss.
Acid Breath looked down to his left also confused like the others.
"Bring the curtain down on this little sideshow." Zombozo ordered his henchmen.
Acid Breath melted the metal leg of the water tower with his breath as Frightwig used her hair to pull the support beam as Thumbskull used his knuckles to dent the other metal leg.
"Play's over, Fido." Acid Breath said giving a toothless smile at the hero.
The water tower fell to the ground with Wildmutt within the center as metal beams fell on top of our hero as it seemed he was dead as a beheaded head.
Thumbskull grabbed some of the rubble to see if the Alien Shapeshifter was really and actually dead.
"Dog gone! Ha ha ha!" Thumbskull laughed.
"Come on! We got bigger laughs to get!" Zombozo ordered his trio to return to the Circus as he rubbed his hands as a thick cloud of smoke and confetti appeared and he was gone.
The trio left to return to the circus not hearing a faint beeping noise from within the rubble.
Beep*
Beep*
Beep*
There was a bright red flash of light that came from within the once standing water tower.
Bwwwwoooooosssssshhhhhh*Wildmutt has just reverted back into Hiccup once again.
Hiccup crawled out of the wreckage to see the Circus Freaks returning to the circus as he let out a sigh of relief.
"Whew." Hiccup sighed in relief as he then lost consciousness.
The circus was empty on the floor was popcorn, spilt drinks, and maps of the circus on the floor as the audience left the empty space that held the Circus, all of them still laughing.
Gobber, Fishlegs, Snotlout, Ruffnut, and Tuffnut were sitting on the stairs still laughing, but it sounded like they were getting weaker by the second, and with Astrid and Heather no where in sight.
"Heh heh heh." Gobber and the 4 other kids constantly chuckled as Hiccup had finally regained consciousness and returned to the gang.
"Gobber? Guys?" Hiccup asked worried for his Non-biological father and the 4 other kids of Berk as he ran towards them.
"Heh heh." Gobber chuckled as the other teens of Berk, except Hiccup, did.
"Gobber! Guys!" Hiccup said to Gobber and the other kids.
"Heh." Gobber and the 4 kids slowed their chuckling down.
"Oh, Hiccup. Heh. Ohh. Where'd ya go?" Gobber asked still chuckling with the teens also doing the same.
"Where I'd go? Where'd the CIRCUS go?" Hiccup asked.
Gobber and the other kids slowed their chuckling down, not knowing the answer to that at all.
"Huh? Uh, We're not so sure." Snotlout said as he and the other Berkians looked at the circus that used to be here, only to find it gone, with many of the civilians gripping their head in pain.
"Uh..." Tuffnut said. "I-I remember we were laughing." He said to Hiccup.
"Heh. It was so funny." Ruffnut said chuckling a bit, before she and everyone else completely stopped as their eyes started to droop down low.
"Gobber, Guys, are you OK?" Hiccup asked worried for his fellow Berkians.
"Heh. We just... feel kind of glum, that's all." Fishlegs weakly said. "Heh heh heh." He and the other Berkians and audience members slowly chuckled like their positive energy was all gone from them.
"Then why are you still smiling?" Hiccup asked before he realized something. "Wait a minute." He said as he looked around the area trying to find Astrid and Heather. "Where's Astrid and Heather?" He asked worried for their lives.
A couple of large boats were traveling along side a cliff that luckily was easy to sail up and down with Thumbskull sailing the boat ahead of everyone with Zombozo right next to him.
"Did you pack me a SNACK for the sea?" Zombozo asked Thumbskull, as the latter smiled before opening a small window-like door revealing a group of still laughing kidnapped people, with two of them being Astrid and Heather.
"Ha ha ha! Heh heh heh!" The kidnapped people continued laughing constantly as Zombozo smiled as he and the circus continued their way to the next village.
The Rust Bucket was slowly following the circus as they had followed a trail of popcorn buckets and cups on the road, with the Twins stupidly and weakly picking them up as they sailed by them.
Gobber was sailing the boat with Hiccup next to him as the 4 kids of Berk were downstairs with the Twins following after they collected enough popcorn buckets and cups.
"Zombozo must have... zonked out the entire village during the show while his freaks robbed everyone blind." Hiccup theorized with his teacher. "But why kidnap Astrid and Heather?" He asked confused on that part.
"I-I don't know." Gobber weakly said as he was losing energy. "But don't worry. We'll catch that Gudleikr." He weakly promised his nephew.
"Y-Y-Yeah. Heh!" Hiccup silently chuckled agreeing with his Teacher, though anyone onboard could tell it was forced, even those asleep. "Who would be afraid of a silly old Gudleikr?" He nervously said.
"Hiccup, wh-what's botherin' ya?" Gobber weakly asked.
"Promise not to laugh? Or tell Snotlout and the Twins?" Hiccup asked wanting Gobber to promise. "I'm afraid of Gudleikrs. T-They creep me out. I'm such a loser." He said telling Gobber his coulrophobia, or fear of clowns/Gudleikrs.
Hiccup had many fears, he's still afraid of Night Furies.
"Everybody's got their own crazy fear, Hiccup. When I was a boy yu're age. I was afraid of heights. Then, after a couple years, I decided, enough was enough, and I climbed to the top of the highest peak in Berk and I was no longer afraid anymore. Sometimes ya just got to scare the fear out... of... ya." Gobber weakly said as his eyesight became blurry.
"Ohh." Gobber gasped as he fell onto the steering wheel as the Rust Bucket was now out of control.
"Gobber!" Hiccup shouted as he rushed over to his uncle to try and help him.
Hiccup took the wheel, which Gobber was still sleeping on, and tried to sail the boat as they were now on a collision course with a railing that protected sailers if they fell off a cliff.
"Whoa!" Hiccup shouted as the Rust Bucket was nearing the cliff, the passengers inside were all heavily sleeping not even bothered by what was going on top.
The Rust Bucket sailed off of the cliff and into the woods below, landing like it did with sailing before Hiccup turned the wheel all the way to his left as the Rust Bucket avoided trees.
"Whoa." Hiccup gasped as the Rust Bucket was now on a one-way trip to a chasm. "I need to anchor, fast!" Hiccup said looking at the control board not knowing which to flip, he flipped a switch that pulled the maroon red sail opened up to the side. "Come on, Come on!" Hiccup pleaded.
Hiccup looked ahead and quickly turned the Rust Bucket to avoid the tree, but destroying the Red Sail in the process.
Hiccup quickly turned the wheel all around before steeping on a pedal which quickly dropped the anchor making it spin around and drop an anchor which flung itself at a strong tree, stopping the Boat before it fell off the steep cliff.
"Whew. Gobber, are you OK?" Hiccup asked his uncle.
"So... sad." Gobber sadly said as he lost all of his positive energy. "So very, very said." He said as the other kids came up all looking tired and sad like Gobber.
"Gobber, guys, what happened inside the big top after I left?" Hiccup immediately asked the gang.
Gobber and the 4 kids started to slowly remember what had happened after Hiccup left the Circus.
People were laughing as neon-like lights of elephants and all things comical and circus related appeared as the audience and the gang continued laughing.
"Ha ha ha." The audience laughed as Blue spirit-like brings arosed from out of their bodies, looking creepily like them as they were laughing all the while.
The spirits then went towards the big 5-eyed octopus-like machine, as they were being sucked up within them.
"I LOVE the sound of laughter. It feeds my soul." Flashback Zombozo joked to the audience.
"Hiccup, I-I think that Zombozo robs people of more than just their possessions." Gobber weakly and sadly said as the other kids of Berk, except Hiccup, knows what he is now talking about. "I think..." Gobber tried to finish but Fishlegs got to it.
"He steals people's happiness until there's nothing left." Fishlegs sadly and weakly summarizes what Gobber was about to say to Hiccup.
Hiccup looked shocked as he looked at the weak forms of Gobber, Fishlegs, Snotlout, Ruffnut, and Tuffnut. Before he realized another thing.
"And he's got Astrid and Heather." Hiccup realized. "Gobber, is there a quicker way to get there besides sailing?"
"Y-Yeah, just flick the switch that is farthest from me..." Gobber weakly said as Hiccup did just that.
Suddenly, four sides of the boat opened up as wheels came out attached to the Rust Bucket as the Rust Bucket became less of a boat of the sea and more of an RV of the land.
(I know that THAT was sudden, but come on would YOU want to push a BOAT back onto water with your bare hands?)"Now... just flick the switch that says AD, on it and put in the coordinates of Heather's 'Prey'." Gobber weakly and sadly said as Hiccup did just that and the boat/RV went into AutoDrive and went to Heather's location.
'Don't worry Astrid and Heather, we're coming.' Hiccup mentally promised his crush and his half-cousin.
The circus was now somewhere in a swamp-like area, when the Rust Bucket got close Hiccup turned off AutoDrive as he walked in, telling the others to stay in the Rust Bucket, luckily they had no choice and stayed behind.
Hiccup was sneaking behind some crates as Frightwig, Acid Breath, and Thumbskull walked by carrying some crates.
Hiccup peeked behind the crate as the trio thieves walked past them before Hiccup turned around and saw Zombozo's face as he backed up into some crates knocking them over alearting the trio.
The trio noticed the sound as they dropped their crates, Thumbskull chewed his toenail knuckles into blade-like toenails, as Frightwig then spoke.
"Heh heh heh. Looks like we got somebody who wants to see the show without buying a ticket." Frightwig said to the two male circus freaks, before ripping of Acid Breaths' muzzle.
Acid Breath breathed out some of his acidic mouth breath as the trio walked towards Hiccups' location ready to end the life of our Alien Shapeshifter.
Hiccup quickly pressed a button on the Omnitrix as the dial popped up as Hiccup quickly slammed down on it only to not work. Hiccup tried again as the trio got close. He looked back before talking with the Omnitrix.
"You never make this easy, do you?" Hiccup asked the alien device.
The trio was now nearing the box as Thumbskull rushed forwards and Hulk Smashed the box he was hiding behind.
"Aargh!" Thumbskull grunted as he destroyed the box as Frightwig came along and did a Hitmontop hair twirl as Acid Breath breathed his acidic morning breath at Hiccup.
Once the box was destroyed they saw nothing or no one behind or in the box. They did however hear a sound as a bright green flash of light appeared right behind Thumbskull and two crates.
"What's that noise?" Thumbskull asked his teammates.
The two crates exploded revealing the Galvanic Mecamorph, Upgrade, who has now merged himself with a mechanical BaseBall Pitcher making it a BaseBall Shooter.
"I don't know what you are, but I'm gonna tear you apart." Thumbskull threatened the human-turned Galvanic Mechamorph as he rushes towards the latter.
"You want to play hardball? Game on!" Upgrade (with Hiccup's voice) said to Thumbskull as he rapid fired baseballs at Thumbskull hitting him in his face with rapid fire knocking him back into Frightwig and Acid Breath, the latter two dodging the attack.
"Unh!" Thumbskull groaned before another baseball hit him in the groin. One down, two to go.
Frightwig then landed a fair distance from Baseball Shooter Upgrade as the latter turned to her before firing at her only for her hair to swing them back at him making him go behind some crates.
"That all you got?" Frightwig challenged Upgrade.
"I'm just warming up, kid." Upgrade said to the 10 year old Thief before rising from some crates and firing baseballs at her all of which was flushed back at him.
He ducked as he went to the side and fired again at a different angle, one of which hit her foot and made her hair wrap around her whole body, except her head, as a baseball had hit her face. Two down, one to go.
Acid Breath jumped on top of some crates and took a big gulp of air before breathing it out as acidic air towards Upgrade as he dodged the final Mutant Human.
Upgrade went through a corner of crates as Acid Breath spewed his acidic air at them, missing Upgrade who was right behind and below him.
"Ugh, Didn't your mom ever tell you it's not polite to spit?" Upgrade taunted Acid Breath.
"Who do you think taught me in the first place?" Acid Breath said to the Galvanic Mechamorph, before taking a big gulp of oxygen as Upgrade jumped and fired a baseball towards his mouth instantly stopping his acidic back talking before he was rapid fired in the face multiple times.
Strike 3! There out!
"Strike 3!" Upgrade said as he unmerged with the mechanical Baseball Pitcher.
Upgrade was heavily breathing as he was now reaching the final boss telling himself he can do this.
"You can do this. He's just a guy with a red rubber nose and big shoes." Upgrade said to himself doing this for Astrid and Heather. "Nothing Upgrade can't handle." He said in the third person.
There was beeping and a red flashing coming from the Omnitrix.
Beep*
Beep*
Beep*There was a bright red flash of light that engulfed Upgrade.
Bwwwooooooosssshhhhh*Upgrade had just reverted back into Hiccup once again.
"Whose side are you on, anyways?" Hiccup asked the inanimate object on its untimely recharge.
Hiccup bravely walked into the big top to face his fear as he looked around he jumped back.
"Huh?" Hiccup jumped back in fear of his reflection, seeing that this has now became a Mirror Maze.
"Oh, great. Now you're afraid of your OWN reflection." Hiccup said to himself hoping no one saw him.
Hiccup then walked back in annoyed on how easy he was scared of himself.
With Zombozo...
Zombozo just smiles, knowing he has an unwanted guest.
Hiccup is bravely walking through the maze of mirrors seeing each of his reflection a different shape and size with each one he walks by, those being Tall, Short, Strong, Weak, Thin, Fat, Wavy, Curved, etc.
"Hiya, son!" Zombozo's voice echoes throughout the maze, putting Hiccup on edge. "Something tells me you'd be a barrel full of laughs." He said angering Hiccup.
Hiccup continues his journey, ignoring Zombozo's annoying voice. He sees multiple versions of his reflection mirrored and going towards him as he hit his nose.
He backs up rubbing his nose as Zombozo's face replaces Hiccup's mirror ones.
"Hey, Mr. Serious, how about a smile?" Zombozo's/ Hiccup's mirror-self asked the real Hiccup as Zombozo's faces spun in circles before engulfing the mirrors.
Hiccup looks on in fear as Zombozo's clothings have changes with him wearing red, yellow and orange clothes and face paint.
The Red Zombozies (plural for Zombozo) reach out to grab Hiccup as the latter runs away in fear.
"What's your story, morning glory?" Zombozo asked Hiccup as the latter runs through arms and hands of red Zombozies.
Hiccup then runs upside-down and all round in a spiral as Zombozo's voice speaks to him.
"Was that your MUTT that gave my freaks such frowns?" Zombozo asked knowing he is right.
Hiccup continues running as a Red Zombozo-in-the-box head pops out and talks to him, still questioning all the alien forms he saw.
"What about that weird blob outside?" Zombozo's head asked knowing he is right of the money.
Hiccup runs to the other side as another red Zombozies pops out like a Jack-in-the-box.
"If it weren't for you..." Zombozo's head asked as a third one popped out from beneath Hiccup launching him into the air.
Are you some kind of freak?" Zombozo's head asked Hiccup.
"I'm not a freak." Hiccup said knowing he isn't a freak, just a kid being an alien hero.
Suddenly a fire spins around him and forms the face of Zombozo as he swallows Hiccup whole soothing his dark abyssal stomach all the while laughing.
"Ha ha ha!" Inferno Zombozo demonically laughs at Hiccup trying to play Hero.
Hiccup suddenly grabs onto a trapeeze bar and swings across into a phantom head of red Zombozo before flipping to another trapeeze bar.
Suddenly, the ropes for the trapeeze he is holding snaps as Hiccup falls once again.
"Aah!" Hiccup screams and lands onto a giant spider web.
Hiccup tries to escape but it fails as a giant yellow spider-like Zombozo with its head upside down and red dots on its thorax, crawls his way towards Hiccup.
"Come on, kid! You've got to learn to loosen up." Spider Zombozo jokes to the Heroic Alien Shapeshifter. "Laugh a little." He said.
Hiccup continues trying to escape as Spider Zombozo is already near him. Zombozo places 2 of his spider-like legs in Hiccups' face and talks to him.
"It's what keeps me going." Spider Zombozo said to Hiccup before striking Hiccup with his Spider Legs and making him fall once again.
"Aah!" Hiccup screams. "Oof." Hiccup grunts as he lands in the center of the circus ring.
A light shines on Hiccup as he gets up seeing he is now in the Big Top Circus.
Clack*
Clack*
Clack*
Clack*
Clack*
Clack*
Clack*
Clack*Zombozo walks up to Hiccup his feet hitting the dirt 8 times (I actually counted this) as the latter sees the happiness of all that Zombozo has trapped in run up his arms within the light blue glass domes as he sees the silhouette of both Astrid and Heather at the giant glass dome of Zombozo's top hat.
The silhouette of Heather and Astrid are elderly, as they are getting older, and are still laughing all the while.
"Now, don't tell me you're afraid of little old Zombozo." Zombozo asked Hiccup.
Hiccup hears the painful mourns of everyone's happiness as he backs up and lowers his head and demands to know what he wants.
"What do you want?" Hiccup asked the crazy Gudleikr.
Zombozo doesn't answer and just snaps his fingers as another light shown on the giant octopus-like 5-eyed machine carrying all of the victims he has collected moaning in agony.
The wire at the bottom of the machine comes to life and attaches itself to the back of Zombozo and lifts him up into the air.
"Ha ha ha!" Zombozo chuckles as he then shows his rotten, yellow, saliva filled, zombie-like teeth to Hiccup as he laughs.
Zombozo then hovers above Hiccup with his arms behind his back telling him what he wants.
"Only what every Gudleikr worth his floppy shoes wants- to make people laugh!" Zombozo explained to Hiccup.
His face became large and horrifying as he got close to Hiccup as he spat saliva at Hiccup every time he spoke.
"And drain their positive energy like a sponge at a Pool Party!" Zombozo voice became demonic, frightening Hiccup more, before returning to normal.
"Is that so wrong?" Zombozo innocently asked the little boy.
"Is that the machine you use to suck the happiness out of your audience?" Hiccup angrily asked the insane Gudleikr.
"I call it the Psyclown. Clever, eh?" Zombozo said smiling at his naming of his device. "Soon I'll be taking my act to the big villages. Millions of people laughing for me, feeding me, making me stronger." Zombozo explained his plan.
Hiccup looks at Zombozo wanting his half-cousin and love of his life back.
"I want Astrid and my Half-cousin, Heather, back!" Hiccup demanded that this lunatic of a comedian to give him the only people who actually CARED for him back.
"Half-Cousin? Astrid?" Zombozo asked Hiccup sounding shocked. "Didn't ya hear?" He said sounding shocked and saddened.
"They ran away with the circus!" Zombozo shouted as a light shone on the unconscious elderly bodies of Astrid and Heather.
"Ha ha ha." Astrid and Heather weakly laughed at Zombozo's joke.
Hiccup looked shocked before he stood up angry at this makeup wearing, big fat nose, oversized shoes wearing, son of a Loki in rage.
"Heh heh heh!" Zombozo chuckled at the Runt of Berk.
Hiccup pressed the button on the Omnitrix as the dial popped up.
"Oh, you're funny, but I'm going to get the last laugh." Hiccup said as he switched the dial as Zombozo looked at the kid a bit curious.
Hiccup slammed the dial down as a bright green flash of light engulfed his whole body.
(Ben 10 — OS — Transformation)Hiccup felt his DNA change at the molecular level inside his body. He felt all of his skin surrounding his body disappear and decay as his clothes vanished leaving him a literal skeleton, like flesh-eating parasites were eating it away at a rapid pace. He felt his eyes sunk into his skull as his entire head slowly turned upside down as the bones of his body groaned and shifted with a sickening sound. His teeth became sharper as new, thicker skin covered his skeleton and becoming ghostly white with cracks in his body as his eyes melded together into one turning a phantom purple color with a single, black pupil. His fingers became 4-digit fingers as they sharpened into dagger-like claws that look like they could slice through someone's soul. His legs wrapped around each other into a ghostly tail as thick, black chains with green cuffs formed and materialized around his neck, wrist, and waist. Hiccup felt his insides be filled with tentacles that are black or purple with white stripes. He also felt deep within his mind a second voice, one that sounded evil and a bit louder than before. The chains formed around his chest as they met together within his chest. His voice became menacing and raspy like a ghost. The final piece is the Omnitrix appearing IN his chest as the chain pulled it from within as they were attached to it.
"GHOSTFREAK!" Ghostfreak menacing and raspy voice shouted out his name to Zombozo.
Zombozo looked with wide eyes at first before smiling at the Fearsome Ectonurite, Ghostfreak.
"Nice try, kid, but I sell the tricks; I don't buy 'em." Zombozo said as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"I just figured out there's something I'm even MORE afraid of than you." Ghostfreak said with a raspy voice as his single eye moved around his body and across the black lines covering his ghostly body.
Ghostfreak then leans towards Zombozo for a bit before leaning back and giving the Gudleikr a ghostly knuckle sandwich before disappearing, wrapping the zombified man with the cable of the Psyclown.
"Losing my family to some goofball emotional vampire." Ghostfreak's voice said to said person as the latter unwrapped himself out of the cable ready to fight.
"In other words..." Ghostfreak said as he became visible behind Zombozo as the latter turned around before getting punched in the nose leaving a mark on his nose.
"You're going down, clown." Ghostfreak said turning invisible again, making Zombozo furious at the Ectonurite.
Zombozo was now under the spotlight with an invisible and intangible alien ghost with him. He looked around the area to see if he could get the drop on him, but didn't find anyone.
A wooden plank found itself at Zombozo sending him flying into the Psyclown breaking the massive glass dome in the center, causing the machine to explode as all of the victims positive energy flowed back to their original owners.
Astrid and Heather's spirits returned to their bodies respectively as an aerial shockwave appeared above the big top tent as the happiness of every person Zombozo stole returned back to their hosts.
The victims that Zombozo had been too started to shake their head as their positive energy had flown all the way back to them, some of them were flying back and PAST the clouds surrounding the Archipelago as well.
Back with Zombozo and Ghostfreak...
Zombozo climbed out of his destroyed Psyclown as Ghostfreak floated down to him, the former was still not afraid of him but he DID stutter a bit.
"I-I-I'm warning you to back off." Zombozo stuttered at the beginning.
"You want to see something REALLY scary?" Ghostfreak asked the psychopathic Gudleikr.
Ghostfreak reaches deep within and between the cracks of his skin as multiple tentacles and a horrifying face appeared out of Ghostfreaks body utterly terrifying anyone that would look at him.
That sent Zombozo flinging back into the Psyclown and onto the floor.
"Unh!" Zombozo grunted as he hit the floor, he was now TERRIFIED of Ghostfreak and started backing away from the alien monster as he then curled himself up into a ball petrified.
"Aw. Now, don't tell me you're afraid of little old Ghostfreak." Ghostfreak said using Zombozo's words against him as he float towards him as Zombozo covers his face in fear and terror.
"Please...no more!" Zombozo pleaded the alien ghost, as he looked at Ghostfreak in fear and terror with tears running down his face utterly scared.
"Boo!" Ghostfreak said with his sharp soul-cutting claws out at the Clown.
That was all it took as Zombozo started to balloon up like well,... a balloon before he exploded into smoke and confetti he probably escaped not wanting to be here anymore.
"Whoa. That kind of even freaked ME out." Ghostfreak said looking at himself as beeping was heard as the Omnitrix flashed red.
Beep*
Beep*
Beep*There was a bright red flash of light that engulfed Ghostfreak's whole body.
Bwwwwoooooooooosssssshhhhhh*Ghostfreak has reverted back into Hiccup once again.
Hiccup walked over to Heather and Astrid, he checks both their pulses, thankfully, he got a pulse from both of them, as the two wake up to see Hiccup kneeling there.
"What? Hiccup?" Astrid said waking up seeing Hiccup.
"Hey, where's that chicken?" Heather drunkingly said as she face planted once again.
The Rust Bucket was back on the land once again heading for home. Hiccup told the gang what happened even including Upgrade and Ghostfreak helping, but leaving out that he turned into Ghostfreak and Upgrade, as well as the escape/defeat of Zombozo, mostly.
Needless to say, no one will be sleeping tonight after hearing what Ghostfreak could also do.
The Berserkians were at the circus as they took Thumbskull, Frightwig, and Acid Breath to a more secure and heavily guarded part of Berserker Island's Prison.
"You feeling OK, Gobber?" Hiccup asked his teacher who was feeling all better and was now driving the boat/RV.
"Happy as a lark." Gobber happily said to his nephew. "Pretty clever, you scarin' away yu're fear like that." Gobber whispered to Hiccup so that the others couldn't hear them.
"Thanks." Hiccup thanked Gobber as Snotlout jumped up from behind him wearing a Gudleikr mask, as he didn't hear Gobber and Hiccup's conversation thankfully.
"Boo! Ha ha ha!" Snotlout tried to scare Hiccup...

Only to not get a single reaction out of his cousin at all, except this.
"Oh. Hi, 'Lout. Trying out some new makeup?" Hiccup said not afraid anymore as he smiled. "That's a good look for you." He said smiling.
"Aw, you're no fun anymore." Snotlout groaned as he threw the mask to the floor as he walked away, as Gobber switched the Rust Bucket from land mode to sea mode once they neared the ocean.
Hiccup and Gobber smiled at each other, knowing that today fears were learned and now conquered.
Leave your thoughts in the comments below and if you have any questions feel free to ask. Also please let others know my work, it helps me to know that so many people are in love or like reading this fanfic as well as my other works.
1. Think Reboot Frightwig and Original Series Frightwig, but she doesn't have those cybernetic hair like her Reboot version.
2. Think of Omniverse and Original Series Zombozo combined.
This is CMBasher7, signing out... for now.
