Gentle had just turned himself into Bloodhound and Multiple Man much to La Brava's shock.
"For what?" Bloodhounds snarled.
"I've seen him before," said Multiple Man. "Is that village is always posting up those foolish videos online."
Bloodhound then approached and grabbed the helm of Gentle's suit.
"Gentle, no!" La Brava crowd.
"Who fought you?" Bloodhound demanded.
"No one," he said simply.
Bloodhounds sniffed the air and smelled his scent all over the place. "You obviously had a fight around here."
"I told you I tripped and fell, that's all."
"It's just you two?" he said, looking at them both.
"That's right."
"Stop lying, someone else was here before! I caught the scent of someone from our school! What did you do with our student?"
It was that precise moment that Hiccup emerged from the bushes, and Bloodhound was starting to put all the pieces together.
"In all my years as a scoundrel, I committed many crimes, but my greatest sin was a kidnapping brain was the innocent girl you see before you," said Gentle. "My actions were self-serving, though I claim to be a gentleman. For I am one who has lived his entire adult life, thinking only of himself."
Gentle smiled. 'I've lost my will to fight and my dreams. The only thing left at me as the core of my being, a heart that can feel that beats for someone else. Hiccup Haddock, I'm grateful that you were the one whom I was able to have my final row.'
He then looked back at Bloodhound. "All the blame lies upon my head, so I implore you to pardon dear Ivy."
La Brava knew that he was saying all these things so that she wouldn't go to jail and she was crying in buckets. 'Gentle! I know you're doing this for my sake, but you can't! Please don't, I love you too much. This is not fair Gentle, you know I would not go against your wishes or cause trouble but still…'
Multiple Man looked at Hiccup. "You're injured too."
"Did you fight this man?" Bloodhound demanded.
Hiccup looked at the Gentle. "I realised that he was going to play a joke on Berk so yeah we sparred, but everything is fine now."
It wouldn't get Gentle out of trouble, but it was better than saying that he was trying to break into the school.
La Brava began crying and bowed her knees.
"Bloodhound… Multiple Man C come in," said Snipe over the radio.
"It's Snipe," said Multiple Man.
"What the situation?" Snipe asked.
Multiple Man looked at his clones and wasn't quite sure how to answer, but Bloodhound reached for his radio.
"Some wannabe streaming villain turned himself in," said Bloodhound.
"I'm sorry, what?"
"I know, doesn't make sense."
"Huh?"
"Relax," said Multiple Man. "This is not an emergency, please continue to do your rounds."
"You can tell us more at the police station," said Bloodhound as he escorted Gentle and La Brava way.
"Hiccup Haddock," said Gentle looking back at him. "I to trained to be a hero… this identity, Gentle Criminal, is the result of my failures. I'm in no position to say this, but I hope for your actions you reach those you are hoping to reach."
Hiccup just watch as they were escorted away and brushed off the blood that was on his nose.
"I wish you a bright future," said Gentle.
"Your father was worried about you," said Multiple Man as his other clones went along with Bloodhound. He then looked at his watch. "Class A's performance starts at 10, correct? That's a little over than half an hour away, but from here you can get to school for about five minutes."
"Except that, I dropped some of the supplies that I left school to buy," said Hiccup as he quickly dashed off.
"Where is it?" Multiple Man asked. "I'll assist you."
With that, they dashed off back down towards the town as quickly as they could.
'Gentle Criminal, he was a difficult opponent.'
At the school, everyone was getting rather concerned with Hiccup.
"Wait, Hiccup hasn't shown up?" said Eret.
"All he has to do was buy some rope what's taking so long?" said Tuffnut.
"Yeah, and he's supposed to be up on stage singing!" Helga nodded.
Hiccup and Multiple Man was still trying to get to town.
'I think I figured out why I had a tough time facing him, it wasn't just his strength. It's because I couldn't turned out just like him Gentle and I have some of the same thoughts and feelings. In the end, would he care about most was protecting the person he loved as for me…'
They managed to get into town, and thankfully the cafe owner had picked up the bag of stuff. Once they have, they quickly made their way back to the school, and Olaf was standing there waiting for them.
"Hiccup, there you are," he said, looking relieved.
"So I am late," Hiccup panted.
Olaf then noticed the dirt all over him. "What happened to you?"
"Long story, I'll explain the concert," said Hiccup.
"You better get change right away," said Olaf handing him his costume. "Everyone is waiting."
"Wait, those scrapes and you plan on performing covered in dirt?" said Multiple Man. "Everyone will be worried about you instead of the show, you have time to get healed up. Do that first."
Hiccup couldn't help but agree with him, though they were cutting it close it was already 9:50.
Quite a few people were making their way to the gym to watch the performance.
"I wonder what Class 1-A's performance will be like?"
"I'm kind of excited to see."
A boy and girl from General Studies merely huffed as they made their way to the gym.
At the gym, everyone was getting rather concerned about Hiccup.
"Eret, I just received word that Hiccup is back," said Stoick.
"I heard, we should have any delays then," said Eret.
Marcario felt Ariel tugging at his sleeve and looked down. "Night is still going to dance and sing, isn't he?"
"Don't you worry, he's going to get down," Marcario assured her.
Backstage along could see the large crowd gathered.
"There are way more people than I thought there be," said Helga nervously.
"Everyone sounds in a good mood," said Calder.
"Yeah, stupid, it is a festival," Agnar pointed out.
"Hiccup still not back?" Astrid asked.
"That slowpoke had better get here now," said Agnar.
It was now 10 o'clock in the immediately cut the lights in the gym and seconds later the cuts began to part must everyone's excitement.
"This is it!"
"We're rooting for you guys!"
"Show us what you've got first years!"
Marcario lifted Ariel onto his shoulder so that he would get a better view. "How's this? Can you see okay?"
"Yeah," said Ariel looking a little nervous.
Hiccup had just managed to get onto the stage just in time and was standing right next to Astrid.
Hiccup saw Ariel and smiled. '…as for me, I want to see your smile.'
Eret was at the back, trying to hide the fact that he was nervous.
"I hope they pull this off," he said.
"Don't tell me your nervous, I'm looking forward to this," said Stoick smiling.
Eret just remained quiet. 'There are some students that still blame Class A for the school's current situation, and they haven't tried to hide how unhappy they are. They're not here to have a good time, this ain't entertainment for them they want to criticise or even better see class fail.'
The boy and girl from General Studies were in the middle of the crowd, and they weren't as enthusiastic as the others around.
"A song and dance performance, huh?" the girl scoffed. "Even if they don't completely blow it they really just showing off aren't they?"
Everyone waited until the audience died down and Snotlout began banging his drumsticks together.
"Let's get things started!" he yelled at the top of his voice.
"Let's show them what we've got," said Dogsbreath as he any other special effects team stood ready.
"Get ready, Berk! To rock and roll!" Snotlout yelled and then slammed his drumsticks on the drums and created an explosion.
At that precise moment, the band started to play in the dance team began to dance. The music was so loud that the audience hair was flapping in the wind, and even those were far could hear the music.
Hiccup then stepped in front began to sing as he danced.
I have a dream
You are there
High above the clouds somewhere
Rain is falling from the sky
But it never touches you
Astrid smiled as she spun on her heels and smiled at Hiccup as she began to sing.
You're way up high
No more worries, no more fears
You have made them disappear
Sadness tried to steal the show
But now it feels like many years ago
And I
I will be with you every step
The dance team danced in perfect sequence and weren't missing a beat as they took part was the backup singers along with the band.
Hey, hey
Olaf then jumped and spun in the air and locked arms with Hiccup who used his strength to toss them into the air. As he spun in the air, Olaf fired a spread of lasers that dazzle the audience.
"Whoa, lasers!
"He's like a human firework."
Sven caught Olaf as he fell back down towards the ground and tossed them back into the estimate he would land on his own feet. The two of them then stood in front of the audience and bowed.
Hiccup then grabbed Astrid's hand, and the two of them spun around on the stage as he sang.
Tonight I found a friend in you
And I'll keep you close forever
Come fly with me
The audience then discovered the two of them were wearing jet boots the and the two of them flew off into the air and danced. Both the dance and ban team began to sing.
Oh whoa, oh whoa
Hiccup smiled as he sang.
Into a fantasy
This time the audience joined in in the backup singing.
Oh whoa, oh whoa
As Hiccup flew through the air, he saw Ariel down below and smiled as he and Astrid flew around the gym.
Where you can be
Whoever you want to be
Come fly with me
We can fly all day long
The two general course students were fighting the urge to join in the celebrations of the other students.
"Here we go," said Dogsbreath.
Hiccup and Astrid then flew towards one another until they met in the centre of the gym and began dancing in midair as Astrid sang.
Show me the world, sing me a song
Tell me what the future holds
You and me will paint it all in gold
Ranger then created pathways of ice across the top of the stadium, Wartihog had several doves flying around, and Astrid created a few streamers on her forearm and launched them directly over the crowd.
Hiccup then grabbed her hand, and they spun around as he sang over the cheers of the crowd.
And I
I will believe you're every way
The entire crowd began dancing, even those from General studies and joined up in the backup singing.
Hey, hey
The dance team then jumped onto the ice pedestals that Ranger created and began dancing around as Hiccup sang.
'Cause I
I have a friend in you
We'll always stay together
Come fly with me
Dogsbreath was running across the scaffolding, holding a large block of ice and scraping it with his hard arm to make it seem like stardust was falling over the crowd. Olaf was now strapped into a harness and was flying across the gym by Jeeves rope as everyone sang.
Oh whoa, oh whoa
Ingrid watched and was actually enjoying herself. At the same time, she began thinking about talking to her parents about her final decision on which school to go to.
"Mum, Dad," she said timidly. "I want to be a hero, I'm not going to become a musician. I'm sorry."
She expected her parents to yell at her, but she was caught off-guard when her father rubbed her head and smiled.
"Did you think we would be upset?" he said. "Come on, kid."
"It's just it was hard to decide, helping out others and making them happy. It just seems so cool." She then started to cry and attempted to brush away her tears. "I've always admired it, but you taught me music, and I didn't want to waste that either because I love music too. I didn't know what to do."
"Ingrid, you can do whatever you want," said her father. "Just remember this, your mum and I became musicians, because that's our great love. But this stuff can take a while, you have to pay attention to how things make you feel."
"Choosing a career is a big decision, and you have some good options," said her mother. "Maybe you can help others with your sound. In that sense, heroes are musicians onto different, right?"
Into a fantasy
Hiccup and Astrid were now lying around high-fiving all the members of the dance team as everyone took part in the backup singing.
Oh whoa, oh whoa
Hiccup then fired his cables and wrapped them around Fishlegs, who had made himself a lighter.
Where you can be
Whoever you want to be
Come fly with me
he then began spinning Fishlegs over the crowd, and he began high-fiving members of the audience, causing them to float up into the air. Astrid started to dance with people in random as she sang.
And I
I will be with you every step
Tonight
I found a friend in you
And I'll keep you close forever
Come fly with me
Hiccup then flew down towards Ariel and picked her up. He then took a right across the entire gym as he sang.
Into a fantasy
Where you can be
Whoever you want to be
Come fly with me
He then dropped Ariel back down with Marcario, and he could see the big smile on her face.
Marcario smiled himself. 'Are you seeing this? Hiccup… Sir… Look at her, she is smiling.'
Hiccup then flew back towards Astrid and began dancing for the final finale as Hiccup sang.
Come fly with me
Everyone sang and danced to the music.
Oh whoa, oh whoa
Astrid then spun around and smiled down the crowd as she sang.
Into a fantasy
The audience waved the arms into the air as they sang.
Oh whoa, oh whoa
Hiccup and Astrid spun around as they sang.
Where you can be
Whoever you want to be
Come fly with me
The two of them then immediately stopped and waved their arms around, and the rest of the dance team did the same on the ice podiums that Ranger created the entire crowd joined in and cheered.
After the concert, Hiccup was given a stiff talking to you by Stoick and the rest of the faculty members.
"Running late isn't a crime, but it leaves and so your phone," Stoick scolded.
"I know, I was just in such a hurry I kind of forgot," said Hiccup as he lifted his phone and saw that his father had left several messages that were about a minute apart.
"Don't be surprised when you check your missed calls," said Stoick strictly. "I have a pretty good idea on what happened based on Multiple Man and Bloodhound's report."
Bloodhound then approached Hiccup. "Don't think that you made the right call! Things were that grizzly, so the Festival is still going on, but this could have been really bad! You're a Berk student with a Provisional Hero Licence! You should have allied on us to handle him, your teachers want to protect the School Festival just as much as you!"
"Yes, sir," said Hiccup.
"Are you better get back to the Festival and you better enjoy every minute of it," said Bloodhound.
"Yes, sir," Hiccup nodded and dashed off.
Hiccup made the back of the gym where everyone was tidying up the gym before they could enjoy the rest of the Festival, and they were already missing Class B's play.
"Good work, buddy," said Marcario.
"That was crazy," said Ariel with her face beaming. "First, when there was a loud noise, it was scary, but everyone was jumping with the dance, and then there was a flash, and you and Astrid flew across the air. Then the guy was flying through the air, that when it got cold, and I saw birds, and there was a spinning light and a bunch of people 'whoa', and you know what I said? 'Whoa' too! It was so fun!"
Hiccup chuckled at her enthusiasm. "I'm glad you had a good time Ariel."
"Though it almost didn't happen because you are late," said Ragnar as he carried chunks of ice.
"I'll explain later," said Hiccup.
Everyone was taking the pieces of ice to the same where Snotlout was melting it. As they did so, many of the students were congratulating them on their performance.
"Class A!"
"We had a killer time at your show!"
"Yeah?" said Dogsbreath beaming. "Sweet! Thanks a lot!"
"I've got to say, you did well," said the boy from General Studies.
Snotlout recognised him and the girl next to him as the ones blaming their Class for everything.
"We're sorry!" said the girl making everyone jump.
"We just came to see you guys screw up! Please forgive us!"
Then before anyone could say anything else, the two of them dashed off as if they had super speed.
"You don't have to apologise," said Clueless.
Snotlout smirked. 'We won.'
"I wonder if they're some of the people that Mr Eret said that were feeling bummed out," Dogsbreath wondered. "If they were our mission was accomplished."
"But surely there were those unable to attend," said Speedfist. "The Festival is still young, we will rest until every student—"
"Take a breather, we heard about what you are trying to do when you are starting to plan this."
"You totally pulled it off."
"We'll tell the others all about it."
"Yeah, seriously it was insane."
"We'll make sure everyone knows how much you put into this, don't worry."
"I also took the liberty of videoing the entire concept," Hiccup added as he dropped more ice into the sink.
Ingrid turned on him. "What? You will accordingly entire being why didn't you tell us?"
Hiccup smiled. "Figured that everyone was nervous enough with performing to the entire school, I didn't want to put even more pressure on us."
"Way to think ahead," said Ragnar looking impressed. "Now all those who didn't attend the concert will get a chance to see it."
"And if the crowd was any indication they going to love it," Astrid added.
"Stop fooling around and finish cleaning up the ice!" Agnar yelled as he dashed around frantically.
"Yeah, sure," said Dogsbreath as everyone stared at him. "Agnar seems to be pretty on edge."
"Gotta hurry so that I can score good seats, I won't miss the beauty pageant!" he yelled determinedly.
Finally, they finished clearing up the gym and now they could go around and enjoy the rest of the Festival. Sadly they missed Class B's play but arrived just in time to watch the beauty pageant, and Agnar was sitting out in front.
Kaia was first on the stage wearing her turquoise dress and standing next to a stack of slabs. She then demonstrated her strength by smashing her way through all of them.
"She stuns with martial arts demonstration in a gorgeous dress," said the announcer. "Strength and beauty, a masterful demonstration of skill."
It was then Angel's turn to take the stage, and she came in riding on a giant golden mech of herself.
"Really, is that the best you can do?" she said. "I'm almost offended that you competed against me with something so dull!"
"It is the Support Course third year and beauty pageant queen herself, prepare yourself a stunning performance," said the announcer.
"What kind of dance is she doing?" Ariel asked as her mech danced around.
"Maybe I'm not the person to ask about these things, because I'm totally lost," said Marcario.
"The goal of beauty is to leave your audience dazzled!" she yelled laughing as he drives away.
"Oh man, this third year, I've gotta admit she's good," said Cael.
Dogsbreath looked at Tab. "I heard that your play thing went well. Nice going man."
"You too, bro," said Tab as they bumped fists.
"And next another third year, Ase Brighson!" the announcer announced.
Ase then floated down gently onto the stage, wearing a sky-blue feathered dress, and everyone cheered.
"Ase," said one of the girls in her class.
"You've got this," said Asmund. "People are animals, imagine that we're puppies and you will be more relaxed."
"Ase lost last year because she tried to be flashier than Angel. Sure no one is going out dazzled that girl, but Ase has her own strengths."
Ase then floated up into the air, releasing her spiral shockwaves, but gently just to envision a power to get airborne. Everyone was completely mesmerised as it looked as if she was some kind of fairy.
'Ah, it's Astrid and Heather too,' she said as she looked down at the audience and noticed the two girls. 'Marcario and Ariel, everyone looks so surprised. This is so wild.'
Asmund smiled. 'Seen her up there, that's really something else. Ase looks like a fairy or something.'
Even the other contestants were mesmerised by the display.
"So pretty," said Kaia.
Ase then landed gently onto the ground, and everyone cheered as loudly as they could.
"What a magical air dance and I think the audience agrees," said the announcer. "Please vote for one of these eight contestants, results will be announced at 5 PM."
That was the end of the beauty pageant, and everyone began to cast their votes and went on to enjoy the Festival. Although Cael was still trying to influence people to vote for Kaia before Kaia knocked him unconscious.
"Oh man, tonight is going to be so great," said Agnar.
"Class E's haunted maze looks crazy, wanna go?" said Clueless.
"Obviously!" said Ruffnut.
"Yeah, no, I'll pass," said Ingrid.
"There's an obstacle course," said Dogsbreath.
"We still lots to see you guys," said Marcario.
"Yay!" said Ariel excitedly.
Without the entire class separated in order to go and enjoy the Festival, Snotlout and Dogsbreath took part in an obstacle course which Snotlout won. Astrid, Heather and Ragnar decided to go with Hiccup and got some food for Ariel while Eret supervised. Agnar, Ruffnut, Clueless and Helga went to Class E's haunted maze and got utterly spooked.
Everyone was enjoying themselves in the Festival, Ariel most of all, much everyone's joy. Finally, the results of the beauty pageant rereleased and everyone cheered as Ase stood there with a sash and a tiara resting on her head.
It was now evening, and the Festival came to an end and Hiccup was seeing Ariel off.
"Thanks for coming today, I loved it," he said, smiling. "And I've got something for you." He then held out a Candy Apple. "A little surprise."
"A Candy Apple?" Marcario stared. "From where? I couldn't find any."
"Yeah, I didn't see anyone selling them, so I bought ingredients when I went out this morning," Hiccup explained as Ariel to the Candy Apple. "It was easier to make than I thought it would be. The only thing I can get at the store was food colouring, but Calder had plenty."
"It's getting late, but you too should be able to see her again soon," said Eret.
Ariel bit down on the Candy Apple and smiled. "It's the best thing ever!"
"Then I'll be sure to make them again, so you have something to look forward to," Hiccup smiled.
"I will!"
Meanwhile, the police station, both Gentle and La Brava were getting grilled by the police.
"Your self-taught," said a detective looking at La Brava.
"Yes," she said softly.
"I can't believe it. What your job?"
"La Brava."
"Would you rather use this talent for the good of the world?"
"Afraid not, I only care about helping my Gentle in any way that I can."
The Commissioner was talking to Gentle face-to-face.
"You know it's fairly easy to test if someone is brainwashed, so why don't you stop lying to us. It's obvious the girl in the has real feelings for you, and it's true that you failed plenty, but has the climbs that you did manage to commit both you and the girl—"
"I make certain that Ivy was never directly involved, you can't blame us equally for my schemes."
"Hmm, so the feelings are mutual. Well, what do you know?" He then picked up Gentle's dossier. "Former Hero Course Student, dropout, the world twist you until you were streaming videos of crimes seem to be your only path."
"It was always in service to my dream, even when I erred in choosing my path," said Gentle honestly.
"There is a good thing you turned yourself in today," said the Commissioner and Gentle standard. "Some people would tell you that there are no do-overs in life, but that's for those who don't want to change or too impatient and want immediate results."
The Gentle then started to break down.
"Hey, you want some tea?" the Commission asked.
"Earl Grey, please."
"You'll get whatever we have!"
