"I smell a trap," said Jack softly.

"And it's so well planned that we have no choice but to spring it," said Hiccup.

Merida turned to Jack. "You be ready to give MK that hat. This may be a trap, but this is also a chance at sending one of those villains back to our world. And I'm not about to miss out on this opportunity."

"You got it," said Jack, tipping the hat slightly.

"Actually, I think you should give the hat to Jamie to hold," said Mavis. "We're going to need Jack's help fighting this guy."

Merida tilted her head. "That's a good idea. Thanks, Mavis." Mavis smiled. Jack handed Jamie the hat.

"Alright, let's get going," said Hiccup, brandishing his sword. He turned to Rex and Slinky. "And go find the rest of the riders and the dragons, we're going to need them too!"

"On it!" said Slinky before taking off down the road, followed by a whimpering Rex. The others raced towards Town Hall.

"Do we have some kind of plan?" asked JJ as they neared the hall.

"Just that MK and Jamie find a good place to be ready with the hat and we'll steer Mordu towards them." Hiccup turned to MK. "You be ready at a moment's notice."

MK nodded. "I will."

"Good." Hiccup took a breath before grasping the door handles to the hall. "Here goes. Be careful everyone."

"You don't have to tell me twice," muttered Merida, pulling out an arrow from her shaft.

Hiccup grinned sheepishly. "Right." He pulled open the door, and they filed in. The hall was a mess. Chairs and glass were scattered into pieces across the floor while claw marks were slashed into the walls. Jesse, Woody, and Buzz were backing towards the far end of the wall on the stage while a huge bear with a couple of arrow shafts sticking out of its hide was inching towards them. Behind him, Bo Peep was directing Hamm and her sheep into pulling one of the curtains taut.

"Buzz, now!" shouted Woody. Buzz aimed his laser at the bear's eyes and fired. The bear swatted at its eyes, trying to get the light out of them. He backed up into the taut curtain and fell backwards.

"Yes!" cheered the toys. Jesse and Buzz high-fived each other. But, unfortunately, the triumph was short-lived as Mordu was back on his feet in a moment. Bo let out a scream as she and the sheep dashed off. Hamm, however, wasn't as lucky. Mordu caught him in his claws and tossed him towards the front of the building.

"Hamm!" JJ lunged and caught Hamm.

"Oh thanks JJ," said Hamm. "That was too close."

"You're telling me," said JJ. The two got up, and realized everything had gone quiet. Mordu was staring directly at Merida and Hiccup.

"Wh-why is he staring at you like that?" whispered MK.

"Because I helped my mom and Hiccup break their curses." Merida pulled back on the bowstring. "And he didn't."

"And he hates you because of that?" asked Jamie incredulously.

"Not too surprised," mumbled Mavis. Merida shot her a look. Mordu let out a growl.

"Now's not the time. We've got a big bear to worry about!" said Hiccup, igniting his sword. Jack leveled his staff and Rapunzel quickly unbraided her hair.

"MK, go find a good spot. We'll push him towards you!" said Merida. She let loose her arrow. It hit Mordu's shoulder. Mordu let out a roar. "Go!"

MK grabbed Jamie's hand and the two ran towards the nearest corner. Mordu charged. Hiccup swung his sword in front of the bear's face, making him pause and back up a bit. Jack struck the floor with his staff, and ice tendrils crept towards Mordu. The floor became covered in ice and slippery. Rapunzel threw her hair up to the ceiling and with a flying leap, rammed into the bear. Unable to get a good grip on the floor, he went sliding.

"Yeehaw!" shouted Jesse. "We can take him down!"

"JJ, go tell them what we're trying to do," said Jack. He leaned in and whispered. "The less Mordu knows, the better. He might be an animal, but he's not stupid."

JJ nodded. "Right." Taking Hamm with him, he dashed to the stage. He motioned for Bo, Jesse, Woody, and Buzz to get closer and quickly whispered out the plan.

Meanwhile, MK and Jamie got to the corner and were placing the hat on the floor. "Ok, so, I guess it doesn't matter which way I spin it, I just have to spin it." She let out a breath.

Jamie placed a hand on her shoulder. "You've got this, Mom."

MK smiled at him. "Thanks kid." She glanced at the battle. Mavis blasted Mordu with some lightning while JJ threw some wisps at him. Buzz followed up with shooting his laser into the bear's eyes again. Mordu took a few steps back, but he seemed to have figured out part of the plan and was pushing back. "But I should be out there helping them."

"But you are helping them. You're doing the one part that only you can do, no one else."

MK let out a huff. "It still doesn't feel right." She glanced at Jamie. 'Though I think it would be best if you went somewhere else."

"But I want to stay here with you!"

"I know you do, but I would feel better if you were out of harm's way."

"But . . ."

"Jamie, go find a place to hide, now," ordered MK.

Jamie pouted. "Fine." He got up and raced towards the podium, hiding behind it.

The battle intensified, everyone trying to push Mordu. But every time they were able to push him towards MK and the hat, he would come back with a fierce attack and try to regain ground. Sweat dripped down MK's face as she watched with tense anticipation. She couldn't miss her shot, but the more they tried, the more Mordu pushed back.

"Oh!" shouted Rapunzel. "JJ, grab my hair!" Rapunzel tossed him the end of her hair. He grabbed it. She ran around Mordu. "Go to the other side!" JJ dashed to the other side. "Pull!" Mordu roared as he fought against the pressure of the hair around his waist. "Jack, ice, now!"

Jack whooped. "Rapunzel, you're a genius!" He jammed his staff on the floor hard, creating an icy path straight to MK. MK readied her hands to turn the hat.

"JJ, let go!" Rapunzel and JJ let go, sending them tumbling onto the ground. The momentum sent Mordu sliding across the icy path. Merida and Mavis ran alongside, to make sure he kept on going. Mavis struck him with some lightning when he got close to stepping off the ice on her end. He roared and kicked her, sending her tumbling.

"Mom!" Jamie dashed out from his hiding place to check on Mavis.

Meanwhile, Merida had shot another arrow into him and MK spun the hat. She took a step back as the hat widened and sank into the floor into a portal. Mordu roared as he tried to stop, but the ice was too slippery and it simply made him go faster. He began to fall into the portal, but managed to grab a hold of the floor with his claws. Merida nocked another arrow.

"We'll finish this later, Mordu," she said before releasing the arrow. Mordu roared when it hit his paw and let go. The others cheered. But then a look came into Mordu's eyes, a look MK and Merida had never seen before. The next second, his other paw reached out and dug his claws into MK's leg. She screamed as the claws pulled her into the portal. "No! MK!" Merida lunged for her, and fell into the portal as well after her.

"No! Merida! MK!" shouted Hiccup as he rushed forward.

"MK!" echoed JJ.

"Mom! Grandma!" cried Jamie. They raced towards the portal, but it was too late. The portal had closed. There was nothing left but the hat. Hiccup sank to his knees in shock. How were they going to get them back?
