The Dragon Riders were still making their way to the courthouse, and the Marines were panicking, running in all different directions. Unfortunately, Dragon Riders just discovered that Snotlout was not on board David.

"We can't just leave him," said Chopper looking at Astrid.

"Astrid is right; it's far too late," said Toothless. "There's no way we can turn back around to pick him up. I'm sure he'll figure out something or other."

"But the whole island is swarming with Marines," Fishlegs reminded him. "He's not Hiccup; after all, he can't find them all on his own."

"Unit we don't realise it at first, we have gotten stronger with every challenge we faced," said Toothless. "You may not think he's tough, but he has survived as well as anyone else. No one from our crew would die a time like this, don't worry."

"From our crew?" Chopper blinked.

"We've only just met the guy. How is he a member of our crew just like that," said Tuffnut snapping his fingers.

"Yeah, Masked Wrestling may be here to help, but he doesn't replace Snotlout," said Chopper.

"You don't know he's going to be okay or not," said Tuffnut.

"He'll be fine," Ragnar assured them. "He is a superhero, after all."

"You're right," they said.

"Yeah, there's no way he would let people triumph over good," Chopper nodded.


Snotlout somehow found himself at the main island front gate and was currently witnessing Galley Law battling against the Marines.

'Why did I not had to land on the King Bull,' he moaned. 'What am I going to do? I'm way behind everyone else now.'

Continue towards Galley Law battling against the Marines, and despite the fact that they were tired, they were still going strong.

'These shipwrights are awesome,' he said. 'But I should probably catch up with the others. Then again, I did leave the crew, didn't I? Maybe I should just run away.'

Snotlout was poised to make a run for it but stopped shaking his head furiously. "No! Running away is the last thing I should do! It is a matter of part of the crew or not; I put on this disguise so that I can help my friends. If Heather is willing to sacrifice herself to save us, it's the least I can do. My manhood is on the line here!"

Additionally, there was no way of the island, nor any place to hide with any Marines, so he couldn't even run away if he wanted to.

"All right, is only one way to get back to the others at this point," he said. "I'm going have to disguise myself as one of the Government agents and walk straight to the courthouse without anyone noticing. Let's do this."

He then took a step forward and then suddenly found himself standing in a puddle. This was rather confusing considering that there was no cloud in the sky, and when you look close, it was more like a river than a puddle.

"Are they going to flood the island?" Snotlout panicked.

Then he heard some wintering sounds and saw that they were actually tears coming from Gabor.

"The giant has woken up!" Snotlout panicked and quickly raised his fists, though he was shaking tremendously.

"We tried to forbid the intruders' entry!" he cried. "We let our bosses down!"

Snotlout stared at him. "You mean the Government?"

"We're the most disgraced Giants in Jotunheim!"

"Jotunheim?" Snotlout blinked. "Giants? Bosses? Wait a sec, are you saying that you're from Jotunheim? Like the Warriors village, Jotunheim?"

Gabor then noticed him for the first time. "Who the hell are you runt?"

"I'm the Masked Wrestler from Wrestler Island," said Snotlout, trembling. "I'm interested in your story. By all means, please continue."

"Never heard of you and never heard of Wrestler Island either! I'm not gonna tell you anything, okay!"

"Just gone down, the Warriors from Jotunheim are the proudest man in the world, right? I know that you would be crying if it wasn't a really big deal. So tell me what's going on; I won't judge, I promise."

"There's not much point in telling you, but I guess it can't hurt," Gabor sighed as he looked up into the sky. "Kadir and I used to be pirates a hundred years ago. Our crew travelled across the whole world; back then, no one could stop us."

Snotlout eyes widened as he remembered hearing this story once before.

"But everything changed when we visited a certain island," Gabor continued.

He then began telling the story, and it was exactly like the one that Brogy and Dorry told Snotlout when they met them on Little Garden. Though there were some added details like the little girl asking an innocent question which resulted in their bosses arguing.

"Since they couldn't come to an agreement, our two bosses started a duel. They put their pride on the line and would keep fighting until it was settled. Who were we to stop them? We had to split up the crew, we were at a loss, or we could do was go back to our home towns."

'He's got to be talking about Little Garden,' said Snotlout. 'What else could it be?'

"A warrior's battle is life or death, but as soon as it's over, the winner is supposed to come back to their village. We waited for 50 years and never heard from either of them. Something was wrong, so Kadir and I set out to sea to find the island and see what happened with the duel. But on our way there, we got captured by some Marines; they forced us to answer all kinds of questions about our crew. Then we found out the truth, even though that our bosses were still strong fighters, they got caught by Marines just like us and was stuck in some big Government jail."

Snotlout stared at him, as this didn't make sense as they encountered the two giants in question just under a month ago.

"All of that stuff happened about 50 years ago," Gabor continued making Snotlout even more confused. "The Government made a deal with us; they said that if we worked for them for a hundred years that they would set our bosses free. All we have to do is protect the escape from intruders; as long as we did let anyone through when our time was up, our bosses and us could go back to Jotunheim together.

Since giants can live up to being 300 or so, we didn't think it was so bad. So we agreed to the deal and kept our end of the bargain for 50 years, but then those pirates came through the gate and ruined everything. That's why I am so ashamed; that's why I'm crying. It's not fair! Now our bosses are going to be stuck in that dum prison for the rest of their lives!"

He then began crying once again.

"Hey, wait a sec," said Snotlout. "There's something funny about that story."

"You think that this is funny, you little jerk!" Gabor roared. "How dare you laugh at our pride!"

Snotlout then lifted his mask up. "I don't mean like funny, haha! I mean funny weird."

"And what's so weird about it?"

"Before we came here, my crew met the bosses of yours, and we saw them fighting your duel," said Snotlout. "Their names are Dorry and Brogy, right? The war years from Jotunheim, fighting and evenly matched duel over and over again for a hundred years."

Gabor stared at him. "How? How do you know their names? You must be lying."

"What will it take for you to believe me?" said Snotlout. "Their weapons, maybe? How they fight? I know everything about them! We really met them, I swear it! I look to them as my teachers… my masters! And I swore to myself that I would become a great man pride just like them someday! And you still don't believe me when I tell you this? They weren't captured 50 years ago; that's nothing but a big fat lie!"

Snotlout then panted for breath as he didn't take a single breath during that speech.

"Then our bosses are still out there?" said Gabor. "They're still fighting their duel?"

"Is that really surprise you know how strong those two are?" said Snotlout.

"I'm so glad," said Gabor crying but with tears of joy this time. "They're still okay, even after all these years."


The rest of the Dragon Riders were getting closer and closer to the courthouse.

"Look, we're almost at the courthouse!" said Toothless.

Unfortunately for them, the Marines were now over the initial shock of David and Goliath and had prepared countermeasures.

"This ought to stop them," said a Marine as he aimed a trench mortar at David.

The shell slammed right into David, and he roared in pain.

"We've been hit!" Ragnar yelled.

The Marines immediately cheered as they could see David was now bleeding and looked as if he was gonna topple over any moment.

"Yeah! We finally got one!"

"David!" Teeny yelled.

"No, this is bad!" Chopper panicked. "He needs my help!"

"Grit those teeth and hold on David!" said Teeny as he moved Goliath closer towards him. "You can't fall yet! Guys are going to have to jump! Get off him quick! David can't go on! That shot hit him square in the chest; he's about to go down! You got to keep moving matter what! You're the only ones who can do this!"

David then turned his head to look at them and roared at them.

Chopper cried. "He says go!"

David then said something to Goliath; he then rose to his full height and positioned his body to bowl directly over the Marines.

"He's coming down!"

The Marines and agents immediately panicked and began scrambling to get as far away from David as possible. He then crashed to the ground and positioned his body so that the entire street was blocked. Astrid and the other Dragon Riders had jumped onto Goliath, and they, along with the Eret Family, just looked at David with heavy hearts.

The Marines then noticed that David saddle was completely empty.

"There's no one riding it."

"Where they go?"

Astrid closed her eyes. "We've got a go."

Teeny nodded. "Let's go, Goliath!"

With that, they continued on towards the courthouse.


At the courthouse, Hiccup was now face-to-face with Burl.

"I'm taking a wild guess that Heather is in the building behind you," said Hiccup. "I'm only gonna give you this one chance; get out of my way."

"Listen, boy, perhaps you haven't realised this, but what you're doing right now is nothing short of a world-class crime," said Burl.

"Just get to the point, already."

"The power of the World Government stretches across more than 170 nations. This island is a symbol of our strength and resolve; attacking it is not a simple act of rebellion but a declaration of war against every country in our alliance. We are bound by our honour to strike you down; he will not only face a merciless death but serve as an example to the entire world. You're at most a few dozen men; you should have thought this out more carefully."

"I told you to get out of my way, so are you going to move? Do I have to make your move?" Hiccup asked determinedly.

"It doesn't matter if I move on not; the point is you're condemning yourself to a death sentence the second you set foot on Enies Lobby. You understand, right? Fighting is a waste of time; you got a taste of our strength at Iceberg's mansion, you cannot defeat Six Powers. The difference between us is simply too great.

Hiccup had been stretching the entire time. "Maybe that was true back then, but I think you'll find that things are completely different now." He then charged at Burl, clenching his fist. "Hope you're ready!"

"Iron Body!" said Burl hardening his body.

"Dragon Fist!" Hiccup yelled.

Unlike last time, Hiccup punch was able to break through his iron body, much to his surprise. He didn't just feel the punch but was also cocked out a bit of blood and was getting back across the ground.

'This doesn't make any sense,' he said. 'He wasn't like that at all when I fought him before. How is it that he is so much stronger now?'

Hiccup then moved in to launch another attack. "Dragon Combat!"

Hiccup began swinging his fists, legs and tail at Burl.

"Shave!" said Burl vanishing just before the attacks hit.

Hiccup turned his eyes and opened his mouth as Burl was running at incredible speed next to him.

"Plasma Blast!" Hiccup yelled.

Burl was shocked that he was able to keep up with him, and a split second later, a plasma blast struck him so hard he was sent crashing through the flagpole. Burl was not down for the count despite the heavy blow, but he had taken quite a bit of damage.

"I don't care about your honour or your Government or any that," said Hiccup. "You do what you want with that crap. All that matters to me is getting Heather out of here."
