"What are you so worked up about?" said Eret looking down at Snotlout. "Seems like you love your ship quite a bit. No matter, whatever condition she's in, this money belongs to us now. Understand?"
"Damn you!" Snotlout spat.
"Unfortunately, in this world, stealing from pirates isn't really seen as a crime. Besides, this is probably dirty money. You must have swiped it somewhere along the way here. Just let us have it. Maybe you can bet the Navy to help, nar they would just arrest you. Too bad Dragon Conqueror Hiccup, he's got himself a useless crony that can't even handle the simple task of guarding a little money. Such a shame?"
He then kicked Snotlout beneath the chin, causing him to roll over the floor.
"All right, boys," said Eret. "Show him all the hospitality of the Eret House while I'm gone. No time like the present to start shopping with this pile of money. Man, this is going to be great."
"Hold it!" Snotlout yelled as he rose to his feet, clenching his fist. Then before anyone could stop him, he charged at Eret. "Iron Fist!"
Eret then turned around and merely grabbed his fist before making contact, much to Snotlout's horror. "Remember my name, boy. It's Eret. If you want to leave this city alive, I suggest that you never crossed me."
He then tossed him back onto the floor, and his boys began to surround Snotlout.
"Hey, would you think you guys are doing!" Snotlout yelled as they began grabbing his arms and legs. "Let's go!"
"See you later, boy," said Eret as he began to leave by the back entrance with two girls. "Thanks again for the 200 million Gil."
"No!" Snotlout yelled as he tried to free himself. "Wait, give it back! Get back the money! You hear me, give it back!"
Teeny then stepped in front of him and then punched him hard in the gut. He almost lost consciousness, but he looked up to see the two girls opening the back entrance, and Eret began to walk through the doorway.
"No, give it back," said Snotlout reaching out. He could only watch as the doors began to close. "Give it back!"
He was then kicked in the waist, and then soon, the other members of the Eret Family began to step on him.
"No, please!" Snotlout cried as the doors closed. "Give it back!"
Fishlegs and the twins were on the ship guarding the money and waiting for Heather while Astrid and the others began making their way to the Eret House.
"Man, this day just keeps getting worse and worse," said Ruffnut.
"Yeah, first Heather disappears, then we discover the ship can't be repaired, and now we've been robbed," said Tuffnut.
"We'll just have to hope that Astrid and the others are able to retrieve the money," said Fishlegs looking rather uneasy. "In the meantime, it's up to us the guard what little money we have left."
Astrid had let the others to the street where she had left Snotlout, but there was no sign of him.
"This is the place I left him," said Astrid.
"Hey, Snotlout!" Chopper called.
"Guess he must have left," said Ragnar.
"Are you sure this is where you left?" Toothless asked, looking at Astrid.
"Positive," said Astrid.
Chopper looked around and saw a trail of blood on the ground. "Look at this. It's blood, see."
"That idiot, I told him to stay put," said Astrid furiously.
Toothless looked at them. "Wait, you don't think that he—"
"Snotlout, no," said Chopper.
"He's going to get himself killed," said Ragnar.
It was then that Hiccup fully overhead he must've spotted them because he flew towards them. Once he touched the ground, he reverted back to his human form and approached them.
"I see you made it back to the Tiger," said Hiccup looking at Astrid. "Any luck finding them?"
"No, but we've got bigger problems," said Astrid. "I was able to find Snotlout, but it looked as if he was beaten up pretty badly. When I came back with the others, he was gone, and we have a strong idea where he was headed."
Hiccup's eyes widened. "That idiot. We better hightail it to the Eret House."
At the Galley Law Company, Iceberg had just finished his meeting with Corgi.
"All right then, we'll be leaving now," said Corgi. He had his men then left looking rather annoyed. "That man is seriously stubborn. It's infuriating. We don't even know if he has it or not, yet they keep sending me out here repeatedly. I wish those people put themselves in my shoes for once."
Iceberg was looking out of the window, watching Corgi leaving the company building; he then heard a knock on the door.
"It's Kala," said Kala's voice.
"Come in," said Iceberg.
"You must be worn out, Sir," said Kala entering his office carrying a tray of tea. "Would you like something to drink?"
"I would, thank you," he said. "Maybe some tea."
"I've already prepared it," she said, placing the tray on the table.
"I expect nothing less from you," he smiled.
"Thank you, I'm grateful." She then began pouring him a cup of tea. "Poor Mister Corgi is always so angry when he leaves, isn't he? What in the world as he come here to talk about?"
"Oh… that. Those he represents want something that I have, and they keep making various offers."
"It must be something of great importance, then, isn't it," said Kala looking up at him as he stood there standing next to a wanted poster of Heather.
"Well, maybe so though I always denied knowing anything about it," he said, smiling as he patted Rex. "They really are tiresome people."
Hiccup and the others had finally arrived at the Eret House, and they frowned Snotlout laying on the ground in the trailed his own blood. He was badly bruised all over his body. Clearly, they had beaten him up quite badly.
"Is he breathing, Chopper?" Hiccup asked.
Chopper bent down to examine him. "He is unconscious, but yes, his breathing. He'll live; I can save him."
"You wait out here for us," said Hiccup. "Okay, Snotlout."
All five of them were actually furious with the site of Snotlout, and they were about to channel their anger towards the Eret Family.
"We're going to level that stupid house to the ground," said Hiccup as they began marching towards the Eret House.
The Eret Family was celebrating, unaware of the danger that was approaching them. Most were drinking while others were playing poker, and all of them were having a merry time.
"Hey, somebody go and buy some more food!"
"Yeah, we've got the money!"
"And get some more booze while your at it!"
"That's it, show them."
"Looks like you lose this round."
"Loser gets to pick up some more booze."
"Buy all the food they have offered to. It's not like we don't have the money."
A large man with long brown hair then rose to his feet and began making his way to the front door. "Be right back, and when I do, I'm going to win every hand, just you wait!"
He opened the door and was about to step outside when he saw Hiccup and the others standing in front of him. Before he knew what hit him, Hiccup punched him hard in the face in his hybrid form, sending him flying across the room.
The Eret Family immediately looked up, wondering what had just happened.
"What was that? What happened?"
They turned towards the door as the dust began to settle, and there they saw Hiccup and the rest of his crew standing outside.
"Huh? Who the hell are those guys?"
"You jerks, you got a death wish!"
Teeny eyes widened in horror as he recognised them, as did the rest of the Family.
"I recognise them," Teeny gulped. "It's that pirate… Dragon Conqueror Hiccup."
All of them were completely terrified, but a third large man with fluffy red hair began to approach him.
"So you came to get your money back, did ya?" he said, laughing as he strapped on some armour. "Bad move. Just take a look around you. Do you really think the five of you are enough to handle us? But since you're here, we might as well take those big bounties you've got on your heads."
"He's the captain of that loudmouth weakly we took care of earlier," said Teeny, though he was still sweating quite a bit.
One by one, members of the Eret Family began to draw their weapons.
"With that pitiful excuse of a pirate on his crew, he can't possibly be that strong."
"Let's go," said the large man. "Come on, shrimp."
Hiccup then reverted into his hybrid form and opened his mouth. "Plasma…" He then began to charge a large amount of power into his mouth.
"What do you think you're doing?" the large man scoffed.
"Ha, ha, are you going to try and blast him? Not even a bombardment from battleship cannons can put a dent in the armour!"
"What a joke."
Hiccup just kept on charging, ignoring their comments.
"If you're just going to play around that, I'm going ahead and this right now," said the large man as he drew a massive battle axe.
Hiccup then unleashed all the power he had been storing up. "…Cannon!"
He then fired a powerful plasma blast that slammed into his arm. The explosion was powerful enough to shatter the armour and sent him flying across the room, much to the shock of the Eret Family.
"He blasted a hole right through it!"
"Hey," said Teeny looking at them terrifyingly. "Hold on, wait a second, you guys. Let's talk about this first."
However, all of them just stood there in silence.
"Okay, guys, fire the cannons!" Teeny ordered as he and some of his men ducked to reveal several large cannons were aiming towards Hiccup and the others.
They then fire the cannons, but Toothless short past Hiccup Andrew all three of his blades.
"Three-Sword Style: Raven Hunt!" he then swung his blade in the cannibal, slicing them in half.
The Eret family just stared in horror as the sliced off cannonballs exploded behind Hiccup and the others.
"What? Impossible!" Teeny panicked. "Those cannonballs are made of iron!"
Toothless wasn't done as he immediately sliced the cannons themselves with his blades.
"The cannons too!"
"Get him!"
A few members of the Eret Family then charged at Toothless, but Astrid came at. She picked up a fallen battleaxe and then began to charge electricity through it.
"Lightning Battle Maiden!" Astrid yelled. She then swung her axe at the Eret Family, electrocuting them and knocking them to the ground. "I wish I had a better quality of axe, but it's enough to deal with you losers."
"That chick just electrocuted them!"
"What kind of monster is she?"
"Holy crap, these guys are seriously bad news!"
"Let's get out of here; everyone run to the back door!"
They immediately dashed towards the back door, but Ragnar was having none of that. He somersaulted into the air and landed on one of the Eret Family's faces, and balanced himself perfectly.
"You guys started this fight; it's kinda pathetic to run from it like cowards," he said with disgust. "Party Table: Kick Course!"
He then began spinning around and dealt some powerful kicks into the other members of the Eret Family's faces and then do the same one to the one he was standing on. The Eret Family just stared at him in horror as he was blocking their only means to the back door.
"W-we can't make it to the back door!"
"Windows! Use the Windows!"
They immediately ran towards the nearest window, but Chopper was blocking their path.
"Rumble!" he said as he bit down on one of his Rumble balls. "Horn Point!" He then transformed into his horn point and then charged at them. "Rose Colonnade!"
He then began tossing any of the Eret Family he was able to grab with his antlers as they ran away from him.
Teeny watched as, one by one, members of the Eret Family were knocked to the ground.
"Wait!" he yelled at them. "It's the money, right? You just want the money back? The 200 million Gil that the other guy had? Is that it? I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but that pile of money isn't here any more. Eret, the family boss, took it all and went on a shopping spree and says he's buying something on the black market. We don't have any idea where he might be or even how to find him. So no matter how much of a rampage you go on, that 200 million Gil won't be coming back, so why don't you and your—"
Hiccup then punched him hard in the face sending him flying across the room.
"Teeny!"
"That's enough out of you," said Ragnar. "This has nothing to do with the money."
"Damn, straight," Toothless nodded. "It's too late for that."
"This is about Snotlout," said Astrid glaring at them. "We have an unspoken motto on our ship, you attack one of us, you attack all of us!"
"You brought this upon yourselves, and when we're through with you, young mothers won't recognise you," Hiccup threatened.
Eret Family began to panic upon hearing this, but a few were still confident though it was starting to wane.
"What's the matter with you packing like a bunch of cowards? We're the Eret Family! We're the ones that do all the bone-breaking around here, got it! Never forget who you are! Okay, brothers, let's show them the speciality of the Eret House!"
With that, they began a mean a large directly towards them.
"Now fire the Anything Shot Cannon!"
They weren't kidding about the anything shot because they fired an assortment of different items, toys, weapons, food and even a guitar. However, all five of them easily dodged the attack and then charged towards them at full speed.
"Here they come! Attack!"
"The firing until there's nothing left to shoot!"
"Come on, there's only five of them!"
Eret Family fought as hard as they could, but they were completely no match for Hiccup and the others. Then there was a huge explosion that completely destroyed the Eret House; it was so loud that it could be heard across the island.
Eret was boarding the ship with two girls who were clearly twins; the only way to tell them apart was that one of them was wearing a pair of yellow goggles when they heard the explosion, not knowing that Hiccup and the rest of his crew had attacked them.
"What was that? Fireworks?"
"Sounds like it's coming out from towards the Eret House."
"Then again? Uh, what trouble are they up to this time?"
"I know, right." The passenger then noticed Eret standing there. "Hey, quietly going to hear us."
Upon seeing Eret, the two passengers immediately left the platform.
"Oh boy, sounds like they're getting a little carried away," said the girl with yellow goggles.
"When those boys party, they really don't show any restraint, do they?"
"No big deal, it's not like they do it all the time," said Eret as he began to board the train. "It's a nice day."
Hiccup and the others were sitting among the wreckage of what used to be the Eret House while Chopper tended to Snotlout's wounds.
"Should we go after Eret?" Ragnar asked.
"And start looking where?" Astrid asked.
Ragnar sighed. "Seems like these is really didn't know where he took the money, and if we do find him, if he spent it, then there's no getting it back."
"What now?" Toothless asked. "Even if we wait around for him, he may not be back quite a while."
"Okay, the first aid treatment is all done!" Chopper yelled. "We need to take back on a stretcher, so I could use some help over here!"
"Hanging around here is not going to do us any good," said Astrid as she rose to her feet. "We should head back to the ship; for now, Fishlegs and the twins are by themselves, and Heather is still missing. The chef is going to be a problem too."
"Yeah," Toothless agreed.
"Hey, Hiccup!" Ragnar yelled.
Hiccup just stood on top of the ruined Eret House looking out to sea. "I've made a decision about the ship. It's time to part ways with the Going Tiger. We will say goodbye to her here."
