Hey there! So Here's the next chapter. Now I said I would reveal the three characters that made a cameo in the last chapter so here they are:

Thumbelina - From well, Thumbelina.

Astro - From Astroboy.

Ned McDodd - Mayor from Horton Hears a Who.

I don't know if this question has crossed anyone's minds but all characters appearances are from their first movie (if they have more than one. HTTYD I'm looking at you) Just to clarify looks and what not.

ENJOY! XD


Jack never felt so panicked. He clutched onto his staff, making his knuckles turn white. The floor beneath him began to frost over and quickly traveled to the walls, slowly crawling upwards. He breathed heavily in the cold temperature of the room, as did the large mass.

The eyes narrowed even further when the room began to frost. Its teeth clenched tighter and its growls got louder, making large puffs of air visible to the already terrified Jack. It began to advance slowly when a door opened up behind it and light came pouring into the room.

"Toothless?" came a nasily voice. "What's wrong? Why are-Oh god! It's freezing in here!" The voice took shape in a thin boy as he walked out of the room. He turned his head toward the two at a stand still and just stared for a second.

Once the situation registered, he quickly came running out into the room and stood between Jack and Toothless. "Whoa! Please wait. Don't do anything stupid." He turned to Toothless. "Back down bud."

Toothless growled in up and down tones, snapping his head in Jack's direction several times. "I understand that but you're scaring him." He then turned to Jack, firmly directing him. "Put your staff down."

"Are you kidding!" Jack scoffed. "That thing is going to attack me!"

"That thing is my friend. He thinks it's a weapon. Now lower it."

"It's a stick!"

"A stick can still hurt! Now please, lower your staff!"

Jack contemplated for several seconds. He loosened his grip then tightened it repeatedly. He looked at the creature the boy called Toothless, seeing that it wasn't letting up either. This made him very uneasy. But then he looked at the boy, his eyes calm, intense, and begging to obey him. Jack reluctantly agreed, believing that if the boy was comfortable with the creature, he could be too.

Jack lowered his staff to his side and stood up straight. Much to his surprise, the creature did the same thing. Its eyes retracted, the snarl covered, the growls gone, and it sat on its hind legs, gazing intently at him like a curious puppy.

The boy lowered his hands and sighed in relief. "Thank you. That could have been disastrous."

"I did not expect it to do that," Jack remarked pointing to Toothless.

"It is a he and his name is Toothless," the boy informed a bit annoyed.

"What is he?" Jack slowly backed up and looked around the boy to get a better view of Toothless.

"He's a dragon."

Jack snapped his head at the boy who had a very proud smile on his face. "A dragon?"

"Yep."

"As in reptile that can fly?"

"Yes."

"As in breathe fire?"

"Yeah," the boy answered again, cocking an eyebrow. "Is there something wrong with that?"

"Nope," Jack shrugged. He then looked back at Toothless. "May I get closer?" Jack gestured to the dragon.

"Sure. Just take it slow. He doesn't like strangers."

Jack slowly approached the dragon, which eyed him cautiously. Toothless let him get closer but the moment Jack put his handout to touch him, he snarled. Jack flinched his hand back and laughed nervously, "Touchy isn't he?" he began to circle the dragon curiously. "It's just that I thought dragons were myth. Didn't exist."

"Well," the boy rubbed the back of his head. "Theoretically, there's suppose to be more, but I haven't seen any. Toothless says there are thousands upon thousands. I think they're hiding from both the mutant world and the normal world."

"He said that huh? That's co-Wait. He talks?" Jack asked excitedly.

"Sort of. I can understand him but everyone else hears growls and grumbles."

"So that's why you're here? Because you can speak to dragons and you have a dragon?"

"Pretty much, I think. Nothing special."

"Nothing special!" Jack laughed. "That's the most awesome ability I've heard of today!"

"Really?" the boy's face lit up. "Thanks. And judging by the state of the room, I'd say you can make it sno-Oh god! You're the new boy. Jason?"

"Jack. You were close."

"Jack. Right. I've been expecting you."

"You have?" Jack turned to look at the boy. "Why?"

"I'm your roommate," he said unenthusiastically as he swung his arms around nervously.

"Rapunzel said nothing about a roommate."

"She apparently said nothing about a dragon either," the boy grinned. "That's ok. Rapunzel's mind is everywhere. It's working so fast to take everything in that she forgets the small things sometimes. I believe it has to do with the fact she was locked away most of her life."

"Makes one want to take everything in, I agree. You have my name but I don't have yours."

"Oh. My name is Hiccup," he said as he held his hand out. Jack shook it as he cocked an eyebrow. "Great name, I know. Sorry you're stuck with me."

"You make it sound like it's a bad thing."

"It kind of is around here."

"Why?"

Hiccup shrugged. "I'm weird. Different. You're going to have to ask them," he gestured towards the window with his head.

"I think you're fine."

"Really?" Hiccup asked uncertainly. "You don't mind me?"

"Nope. Besides, you seem pretty interesting. Can't wait to hear some of your stories. What's it like to actually talk to a dragon?"

Hiccup perked up and smiled. "Kind of like talking to any other animal. They usually just think about eating," Hiccup said and ruffled his hair some more. "The best part about Toothless though is that he is very intelligent…for an oversized lizard. I still have a lot to learn before I can know everything about them," Hiccup said as he stretched. "Well, I'm exhausted. Chasing Fishlegs for those books was almost like running a marathon."

"I know what you mean," Jack laughed. "What's his deal with the books? He seemed possessive."

"Fishlegs loves books, it's just that he gets too into them. When he does, he absentmindedly tears off bits of the pages and eats them."

"Is that his special ability?" Jack asked. "Eating books to absorb their knowledge?"

Hiccup chuckled. "No, it's just a bad habit. He has a photographic memory of sorts. Anything he sees, hears, touches, tastes, or smells he remembers. He can also project his memories in front of him so that everyone can see what he's talking about if need be."

"That's pretty cool," Jack nodded. He then moved to the side a bit so Hiccup could walk into the bathroom. It seemed as if Hiccup was a little stiff and careful about moving his mid section but Jack brushed it off as nerves.

"I should be going to bed," Hiccup said. "I've had a hard day." Hiccup walked back out and pointed to the bed on the right side of the room. "Toothless and I sleep there. He likes being near the window."

Jack put his hands up in front of him. "Don't worry. I won't be taking anyone's spot. I'm the new guy." Jack jumped when he felt Toothless nudge him with his head and growl softly.

"He said 'thanks for understanding'," Hiccup translated. He walked out of the bathroom and turned the off. As he walked toward the bed, he stopped and turned around. "You don't happen, by any chance, to…uh know how to defrost the room? Our beds are covered in ice."

Jack walked up next to Hiccup to see what he was talking about. And it was true! The beds were completely covered in ice. The night stands, the desks, and the drawers besides each bed had a layer of ice. "Oooo. Um, well..I'd like to help but I just got this ability a few days ago and I don't know how."

"That's ok. Toothless has it." Hiccup pointed towards the dragon as he blew his fire over the furniture lightly, careful not to catch it on fire. Within minutes, the room was free of ice and the sheet dry from the water. "Well, good night Jack. I'll see you in the morning." Hiccup said and got into bed with Toothless climbing into it as well and curling up at the bottom.

Jack watched the peculiar sight. It was weird enough to see a dragon but to see it curl up like a cat. That was a new one in his book. "Yeah. Night," Jack mumbled back.

Jack walked over to his bed and plopped in. She laid there just starring at the ceiling thinking about the day and numerous surprises it dealt him. Emma would have loved these people. Especially Rapunzel's hair. She would braid it for hours! And Toothless. She'd never leave that dragon alone. His thought put a smile on his face but then he remembered where she was, and his smile fell. Somewhere out there with those nasty people, doing who knows what to her.

He continued to lay there, thinking about what he could have done differently to save Emma. For what seemed like hours he contemplated but to no avail. He even tried to understand why they wanted him. Make it snow? Why would that be so important? He tried to think of where they could have taken her. An island, yes. But which one? There are hundreds! Maybe thousands!

Shortly after, Jack's mind grew weary and his eyes began to fall. His last image was of the moon shining in the sky.


"He's not going to like this," Gothel grumbled.

The four figures walked through the cavern slowly, careful not to fall on the blue-green ice that covered the floor and walls.

"When does he like anything?" Alvin asked.

"I don't understand why we work for that maniac," Pitch slinked up next to them. "We are quite capable of terrorizing the world on our own."

"You work for him because you're weaker without him," a voice stated as it bounced across the ice walls of the tunnel. The four looked toward the voice and saw a young man walk out with a demonic smile on his face. "You would all fail without him. Just try and deviate from the plan."

"What are you doing here, Dagur?" Gothel rolled her eyes. "We're here to see-"

"I know who you're here to see!" Dagur exploded. The four flinched backward as the man's face contorted horribly and turned bright red. He then relaxed and ran his hand over his red hair to smooth it out. "He wishes me to give you this." Dagur pulled a rope and an ear shattering roar echoed throughout the tunnels.

In a split second, a thin mist of liquid came careening at the four. Pitch materialized out of the way to avoid it but Gothel didn't act quick enough and was hit. Within seconds, Gothel, Alvin, and Mord'u were petrified and couldn't move. Pitch materialized next to them and examined them.

He turned to Dagur angrily. "What did you-"

He never finished his sentence for several large icicles came right at them. Pitch gathered his black sand and used it to defend himself but the others weren't so lucky. The ice created a deep gash on Gothel's cheek, stabbed Alvin in the right shoulder, and impaled Mord'u's left leg. All three tried to cry out in pain the paralyzing effect of the mist denied them of that relief.

"Now," Dagur smiled wickedly. "Maybe you four won't fail next time."

"It wasn't completely our doing," Pitch snapped. He threw a stream of sand at Dagur who merely sliced through with great ease. "Those goody tooshu mutants came unexpectedly. We had the boy."

"The point of the story is that you still FAILED! And he's not pleased. He needs that boy."

"We know that," Gothel spoke up. The paralyzing mist was beginning to wear off. "But we didn't fail completely."

"What are you talking about?" Dagur cocked an eyebrow.

"We still have the boy's sister," Alvin strained to speak.

Dagur raised his eyebrows in surprise. "So you four aren't completely useless."

"We were never useless from the start," Mord'u grumbled as he stood over Dagur. "Here's the brat." Mord'u then dropped the sack he had placed Emma in on the way. Once she landed on the floor, a loud exclamation of pain escaped the bag.

"Well, open it!" Dagur snapped.

Mord'u bent down and undid the knot at the top and dumped Emma out onto the ice cold floor. She immediately removed her hands from the ground for the sudden change of temperature on her hands stung her greatly. She then looked up and saw Mord'u towering over her. She quickly sprang to her feet and began to run in the opposite direction only to run into another body.

"Going somewhere little girl?" Dagur asked as he grabbed her by her hair and kept her in place. Emma screamed in pain and struggled against his grip. "Quiet brat," Dagur spat as he yanked her harder to shut her up. Emma complied, hoping to stop the pulling. "Now what's your name?"

"E-ee-mm—m-aa," she stammered in fear between her tears.

"Emma," Dagur nodded. "Do you know why you're here?"

"Because you creeps want to hurt my brother," she said bravely as she tried to pull away.

Dagur released her hair only to wrap his arm around her neck in a choke hold and bent her arm forcefully behind her back. "Now listen Emma," he spoke softly in her ear with fake sympathy. "We don't want to hurt your brother. We just need him for our plan. He's very important, but the job will most definitely kill him."

Emma clawed desperately at Dagur's hand to get away. "Why? He never met you. He never hurt you," she cried, tears streaming down her face.

"OH! Enough with the waterworks!" Gothel snapped. "Let me just take her-"

"No!" Dagur snarled at her. "She could be your salvation to get that boy. She'll be bait for him." He smiled as he began to rub his head gently up and down Emma's head creepily.

"How?" Alvin asked. "We can't let them know where headquarters is. They'll destroy it."

"I'll work it out," Dagur stood up, Emma tightly in his clutches. "Till then, Pitch. He wants more nightmares."

"I'm going as fast as I can," Pitch pointed out annoyed.

"Go faster then! Gothel, he wants you to find anything and anyone else useful at the market. And while you're at it, find out what's happening at the school. Alvin, Mord'u, he wants you on constructing. The others need your strength."

"Yes, Dagur," The three nodded.

"Go! Now!"

Pitch and Gothel evaporated in seconds as Alvin and Mord'u headed deeper into the tunnels. Another sound echoed through the room, that of a growling animal. Dagur looked around confused.

"What was that?" he asked.

Alvin and Mord'u stopped walking and listened as well. The sound bounced off the ice walls, amplifying it even louder.

"Sounds like a hunger growl to me," Mord'u said.

"I think it's coming from her," Alvin pointed at Emma. "We had to make our way back slowly so North wouldn't get wind of us. She hasn't eaten in over two days."

"You idiots!" Dagur rolled his eyes. "What are you still standing here for? Get going! The construction won't build itself." Alvin and Mord'u turned quickly and ran down the tunnel.

"Eret!" Dagur screamed.

A young man with sleek black hair and tattoo under his chin entered the room nervously. "Yes, sir?"

"Take her to the cells," Dagur commanded as he forcefully pushed Emma toward him.

Eret caught her gently and looked at her tear stained face, his heart melting in pity for the girl. "Are you ok?" he asked her.

"Oh don't get soft Eret," Dagur spat. "She's just another pon in this game. She's nothing to get emotional over. Just lock her up!"

"Yes, sir," Eret nodded as he firmly grabbed Emma's arm and began to drag her deep into the ice cold tunnels.

"Oh. And get her something to eat before she starves to death and is no longer useful to me," Dagur added neutrally.

"Yes, sir," Eret nodded again.
