"Tempest Kick!" Burl yelled, striking at Ragnar.

Ragnar was hit by his slashing attack and was sent flying backwards.

"Ragnar!" Snotlout yelled.

Ragnar slid across the floor sobbing just before he slid off the train.

'What just happened?' said Snotlout looking back at Burl. 'He came out of nowhere. How did he do that?'

Burl then began walking towards them.

'This is no good,' said Snotlout. 'I've got to come up with something.'

Snotlout then placed himself between him and Heather, raising his fists.

"Not one more step!" he said.

"You crazy?" said Heather staring at him. "Stop it."

"Shut up," said Snotlout and looked back at Burl. "I'll be your opponent." However, Burl had completely disappeared. "Wait? What happened? He's gone! Where did he go? He didn't run, did he? That can't be right."

Snotlout then heard the sound of a door opening directly behind him; he slowly turned around and saw Burl.

Back on the Puffing Tom, Eret just stared at the door that Burl had created out of thin air.

"Huh?" Burl disappeared?" he said.

"Nothing of the sort," said Lael. "That's the power of his Door-Door Fruit. He can create a door out of thin air and then use it to travel to another location. At any rate, don't bother trying to escape; it's simply not possible."

Burl just used a Finger Pistol against Snotlout, but he attempted to reach Heather despite the pain.

"Let's have a go," he said, wincing.

Burl then suddenly dashed forward and struck him once again. "Finger Pistol!"

This time Snotlout collapsed.

"Snotlout!" Ragnar yelled, charging at Burl.

"Iron Body!" said Burl as he turned to face Ragnar casually. Ragnar hit him in the face with a powerful kick, but he didn't even flinch. "Your last kick was a lot stronger. Tired already?"

Burl then grabbed Ragnar's leg and slammed him into the floor, demolishing the wooden floorboards in the process. He then tossed across the car, but despite this, Ragnar attempted to get back up.

"Stubborn one, aren't you," said Burl.

"Stop it!" Heather yelled, and arms immediately wrapped themselves around Burl. "I promise I have no intention of running away. I'll honour the deal; you don't have to hurt them."

"They're the ones that keep attacking me; what do you expect?" said Burl.

"Then let's hurry and leave before they get up again," said Heather releasing him.

With that, the two of them began making their way to the air door that Burl had left open.

"Wait," said Snotlout, and Heather stopped in her tracks. "It's all right, Heather; we'll be fine. I understand what's going on; you're still hiding something from us, aren't you?"

Heather then turned around and looked at him.

"There's one last thing, you can do what you want, but a pirate isn't allowed to leave their crew unless they have their captains permission," Snotlout continued as he stood up, clutching his side. "So no matter what, you can always believe in Hiccup."

Heather just looked at him and, in her mind eye, an image of herself running from an island that had been set ablaze. Marine ships were firing upon the island relentlessly, razing it to the ground, and fear began to consume as she watched the flames.

She was then immediately brought out of her thoughts when Burl kicked Snotlout beneath his chin, and he crashed to the ground. Heather then began walking through the doorway and vanished from sight.

"Heather, don't go!" Ragnar yelled.

"You can say what you like to her, but she won't break our agreement," said Burl.

"How do you know that?" Ragnar glared.

"Long ago, an island was razed. That is to say, the Navy issued a Buster Call and burned it to the ground without leaving a single trace behind. The only survivor of that incident was Heather Owson, still a child at the time."

Ragnar's eyes widened. "She never told us."

"Five Vice Admirals and 10 battleships are a terrifying force for anyone to behold, but for a child to see them destroyed her home. Well… it's nothing short of a nightmare. Those thoughts have haunted her for years, and now that the old nightmare bears its fangs to her companions, she no longer has the will to resist us."

Ragnar immediately realised what was going on and clenched his fist. "You bastards! You knew, and you used that."

"Of course we did," said Burl as he began to take his leave.

"This is sick! You people are sick, you hear me!" Ragnar yelled furiously.

Burl looked back at him. "All of this is for the sake of justice. I sympathise with her, but I cannot be swayed."

Ragnar then immediately ran after him. "Don't give me that crap!"

Burl then walked through the doorway and then began closing the door behind him. Ragnar swung a kick just as it closed, but all he ended up kicking was just thin air. He then fell to his knees and banged his hands against the floor in frustration.

"This isn't over!" Ragnar vowed.

Heather had returned to what remained of the Puffing Tom and began making her way back to car 1, much to Eret's confusion.

"Hurry up and take your seat Heather Owson," said Lael as she walked past him. "We'll be at Enies Lobby shortly."

She has remained silent and carried on to car 1.

"Wait! What the hell is going on?" Eret asked as he chased after her. "Get back here! You hear me?"

"Are you sure about this?" Kala asked after Eret close the door behind him. "Shouldn't we split those two up?"

"At this point, there's nothing they can do," said Lael. "We've almost reached our destination anyway. Their hope must be exhausted by now; all they can do is quietly await their execution. Let them lament in silence until then."

Meanwhile, on Rocketman, Magni had now landed on the train itself, and Hiccup was rather furious with him.

"You dumb frog!" Hiccup yelled furiously.

Magni merely growled at him.

"Don't you growl at me; you realise that slap of yours derailed our train, don't you?" Hiccup pointed out.

Magni had refused to move and held his ground as the train slammed into him.

"We were just about to catch up with Ragnar too!" Hiccup groaned. "You put our entire rescue mission in jeopardy!"

Magni didn't appear to care and roared in his face.

Hiccup transformed into his hybrid form, and soon, the two of them were fighting one another. This caused the entire train to shake, and everyone inside was still somewhat shaken up when Magni got derailed.

"I don't know what's going on out there right now, but it can't be good," said Palmer. He then quickly looked back at everyone. "Hey, you guys all right?"

Practically almost everyone had hit the back of the car and were slumped against the floor.

"I guess so," Kaley groaned.

"Help, my back," Lasse moaned as Tilestone had slammed right into him.

Chopper, too, was being squashed by Tilestone was barely able to breathe, let alone move.

"That was one wild ride," said Tuffnut rubbing his head.

"I thought we were going to die," said Ruffnut.

Teeny poked his head outside. "Oh, no! Our King Bulls are done! They've disappeared!"

"No way!" said the female twins. "But how?"

"No, we were the ones who disappeared," said Palmer. "Our train probably got derailed back there."

"Whoa, that even worse," said the female twins.

"What now?" Chopper asked.

"Well, there's not much we can do since we're completely off course," said Palmer.

Everyone then immediately began to panic.

"Will you calm down? Panicking won't help," said Toothless.

"How could you be so calm, Toothless?" Chopper asked.

"Because I know we'll find a way; we always do."

"He's got a point," said Tuffnut.

"Yeah, if we were able to sail across the skies, then it must be possible to get back on track," said Ruffnut.

"What the hell is she talking about?" said Lasse.

"Who knows," said Teeny.

Coco was trying to keep Rocketman steady as the waves were little rough.

"There we go, that frog has some bad timing, but I can't stay mad at him," she said and then looked at the others. "Everyone still alive?"

"Yeah, somehow," Fishlegs moaned.

"Though I wouldn't like to go through that again," said Astrid.

"Stupid Magni!" said Chimney.

"Well, at least they're spunky," said Coco.

"Hey!" Teeny yelled.

"Yeah?"

"Are we going to be okay or what? If we can't make it to Enies Lobby, I'm going to be really pissed off!"

"Shut your trap and give me a second! I'm trying to work!" Coco snapped and carried on steering Rocketman. "That's weird; I think something funny is going on with this current. Seems like we're stuck."

"Coco, do you know which direction to go?" Fishlegs asked as Astrid kept on shovelling coal into the boiler.

"Yeah, of course, I do. When we built the Sea Trains, we equipped them with Eternal Poses set to all the islands with stations on them."

"Then we'll be fine," said Fishlegs made his way to the window. "I'll watch the sea; you just steer."

"You sure that'll help?"

Astrid chuckled. "Don't worry, Fishlegs is the best navigator in the world if anyone can find a current to get us out of this mess at him."

"I see, that's good to know," Coco smiled and then began to laugh. "Oh, almost forgot. Hey, Magni, stop wrestling and get your froggy but over here!"

Magni had been wrestling with Hiccup, but he immediately released him when he saw Coco. He then jumped over and landed in the coal truck and apparently were quite happy to see Coco.

"What was that?" said Coco. "You're glad that I'm still okay? How sweet; I know you were just trying to save me would you jumped the gun. These folks didn't kidnap me."

Hiccup made his way back inside the train with a bewildered Astrid.

"I don't believe it they're actually having a conversation," said Astrid.

"And here I thought nothing else could surprise me," said Hiccup.

Chimney just blinked. 'Does this mean granny can speak frog?'

"What's going on out there?" Toothless asked.

"That ugly old lady is talking to a giant frog," said Teeny.

"Oh, I get it, Granny was a frog all along," said Chopper.

"You never did quite pass as a human, now did she?" Lasse admitted.

"And she does look more like a frog than a human," Tuffnut agreed.

"You realise you guys are going to get hit for that later, don't you?" said Kaley.

"No kidding," said Kalena.

The rest of the Eret Family were still on the track making their way to Enies Lobby, but right now, the concern was finding Rocketman.

"Hello! Dragon! Rocketman!"

"Can you see them yet?"

"No, I've got nothing. Damn, that's stupid frog. That thing must have sent them flying a million miles away."

"Hey, don't start losing hope on me!"

"We set out to save our bro Eret, and we won't stop until we make it happen!"

"That's right! All we can do now is keep on heading to Enies Lobby and have faith that Rocketman is going to meet us whenever we get there!"

"Go! David! Goliath!"

The two bulls roared.

"Hey, hold on, what's that over there!" said a member of the Eret Family, looking through his binoculars. "It looks like there's another train car floating just ahead of us. It could be full of enemies. All right, guys, let's prepare for battle!"

They all cheered, grabbing hold of their weapons.

"Ahoy! Is anyone in there! We're the Eret Family! Come out and show yourselves!"

"Hey, I see someone," said one of them, noticing the door opening.

Looking through the binoculars, they saw Ragnar standing there.

"It's that dude with the mean kicks."

The Puffing Tom was closing in on Enies Lobby, and now sunshine was pouring through the windows.

"Enies Lobby's Department of Management here," said someone over the transponder snail. "Is everything in order regarding the transfer?"

"Yes," said Kala. "We will be delivering the two criminals on schedule. We can see the island now, so expect us soon."

"Understood, we will make preparations for your return."

"I can't help but feel a bit nostalgic after five years of absence," said Lael once Kala but the receiver down. "The night less island… Enies Lobby."

In the first car, both Heather and Eret were now in manacles, and Heather had taken this opportunity to tell him that Iceberg was still alive.

"What?" he said, stunned. "He's really alive? You're not just yanking my chain?"

"No, I heard that he's still alive," said Heather.

"I see," said Eret looking relieved. "That's good. He really had me worried for a while there. I thought he was dead for sure."

"For the record, CP9 might think that they killed him. I'd keep quiet about it if I were you."

"You act tough, but you've got the heart in there like anyone else."

Heather just remained silent.

Eret sighed. "Anyway, we're in trouble now. The Government has got exactly what they want, the only woman with the know-how to bring back an ancient weapon and the man with the only known blueprints for one. Isn't that great? If the Government actually gets that power, everything is going to get turned upside down. First, they'll end the Pirate Era, we will be able to fight back anymore, and after they're done with us, just you wait. They'll turn their guns on the rest of the world. I'm telling you those ancient weapons are going to lead all of mankind to ruin.

My master did not lay down his life protecting those blueprints for nothing, not if I have anything to say about it at least. But still, there's no point in me making it out of here alone; you've got a find some way to get back to Dragon, all right."

"I can't; if I'm with them, it will only bring them suffering," she said

Eret remembered what Lael had said about her existence. "You're not the one that's hurting them. Those Government bastards may tell you that your existence is a crime, but no matter how dangerous you may be, just being alive, just being who you are, is never wrong. You got that? What you do is your choice, but there's no right or wrong in who you are."

Heather just stared at him.

Meanwhile, on Rocketman, Coco was still talking to Magni, much to everyone's confusion.

"My goodness, just look at you; you're covered in scars," she said. "Poor kid, it's been eight years now. Eight long years since Tom was taken away from us. I've watched you challenge this Sea Train every day since then again and again. You were trying to get stronger, weren't you? So that you'll never have to lose the ones you love ever again. So that you'll have the power to protect them."

Magni just stood there croaking.

"Don't cry; now is the time to perfect training to the test, big boy," she said, and Magni's eyes widened. "You remember your old pal Eret, right? He's gotten taken away by the bad guys, too, like Tom, but the good news is we're on our way to save them as we speak. So you up for a fight or what?"

Magni responded by roaring loudly.

Coco then looked back at Hiccup. "Hey, Dragon! I think I found another friend for ya."

Hiccup chuckled. "I heard, and I'm certainly not going to turn down some good help."

"We've already got a talking reindeer what's a giant frog," Astrid shrugged.

"Coco, I found a good current for running to the southwest," said Fishlegs.

"All right then," said Coco making her way back to the controls. "Well, we've lost a lot of time back there, but we'll get it back in a flash."

The Puffing Tom had finally reached its destination, and Marines were making their way to the Sea Train to escort the prisoners.

"CP9 has arrived; look sharp!"

"Congratulations on completing your mission!"

"Bring out the criminals; they're in car one!"

Eret wasn't going to be dragged away without a fight and immediately bit down on one of the Marines.

"Hey, you handle me with care, pal," said Eret's muffled voice. "I'm a VIP after all!"

"Whoa, everyone step back!"

"Be careful that guy bites!"

Heather and the rest of CP9 began to disembark as the Marines tried to restrain Eret.

"You want some of this!" Eret howled.

"Must he be so noisy?" Lael grumbled.

Once Eret had finally been calmed down, they began escorting him and Heather of a series of stairs where Government agents and Marines alike were standing to attention. They were making their way to a large gate made of white marble.

"I've never seen them up close."

"Pretty intimidating."

"That guy is Eric Earlson, right?"

"No way and that woman must be Heather Owson."

"Wow, she's gorgeous."

"Open the main gate!"

The gate began to open, and once they reached the top, Eret got a good view of Enies Lobby.

"Whoa, what the hell is this crazy place?" he said.

Enies Lobby was an island centred in the very middle of a giant waterfall, so deep, in fact, they could see the bottom. Towering over the island, on the other side of the waterfall, they could see a massive tower bearing the flag of the World Government.

"A waterfall? What?" he said as he took it all in. "There's a freaking hole in the ocean!"
