Heather was still lying down on the stairs with Spandam standing over.

"Hey! Get up!" he ordered. "I don't have time for this. Come on!"

Heather merely glared at him, which only infuriated him more.

"Don't you dare give me that look?"

"While your pride and cancel the Buster Call," said Heather. "Now! Before it's too late!"

"Give it up; you're still going on about that crap?" Spandam scoffed. "As the Chief of CP9, I have a reputation to uphold. 'Whoopsie, silly me. I take it back, cancel the Buster Call.' Oh, yeah, that's going to go over really well!"

He punched her once again and lifted her off her feet to look at her square in the face.

"I don't care how many useless peons die out there; all I know is one thing," he said. "Once I hand you over to the World Government, I'll get a nice pretty promotion. That's all that matters, right?"

He then began laughing, which only sickened Heather.

"You're a fool," she said. "You've already lost."

Spandam stopped laughing and narrowed his eyes. "Excuse me?"

"Hiccup, and everyone else, they're coming for me," she said.

"Rather optimistic, wouldn't you say? Even if I hadn't made the Buster Call, you'd still be finished. Your little friend is up against Lael Robson. Do you really think you can win against a CP9 agent with a power level of 4000? In other words, he can completely crush what little hope you have left. So I don't care how many friends you've got; I don't even care about the Buster Call; the point is you're screwed no matter what happens! Do you understand?"

He then kicked her across the face knocking her back down the steps.

"I… won't… give up," she said defiantly.

Hiccup, meanwhile, was still facing Lael in the storage facility, and there was no doubt in his mind that this was going to be the hardest fight in his life. This was only second to his confrontation with Admiral Asmund.

Hiccup really wanted to avoid transforming into his hybrid form unless Lael did it first. However, Heather's life was on the line, and his bow was extremely powerful. He needed every single advantage, and so he transformed into his hybrid form.

He then charged at Lael, grabbed him, and tossed him with all his strength into nearby crates. He then immediately rushed towards the door, knowing that Heather was the main priority.

"Heather!" he yelled.

Lael emerged from the destroyed crates and rushed the dust of his suit. He then used the shaved technique to dash towards Hiccup and kicked him into some crates across the face.

A few seconds later, a crate shot out of the dust, and Lael was about to destroy it. However, Hiccup broke through the crate, using it to hide behind, and began swinging a barrage of fists and kicks. Sadly, Lael was able to dodge all of them with his Paper Art technique and then swung his fist.

Hiccup was able to block it with his leg and then swung his fist, which Lael was able to block. Lael then performed a sidekick, and Hiccup barely had time to block it. The two of them continued trading blows blocking and countering, but Lael proved far more efficient.

He had already struck Hiccup a few times, and when he dodged his spinning kick, he then stood on his hands and thrust his feet into his chest. This sent him flying upwards into the ceiling, and he crashed back down onto the ground.

Hiccup was already getting exhausted, and Lael didn't look as if he had broken a single sweat. Lael just smiled at him as he brushed a bit of dirt offers lip, and Hiccup flew towards him at full speed. He then clenched his fist and swung it as hard as he could, but Lael blocked it with his leg sending shockwaves throughout the entire room.

Meanwhile, the Marines were still scrambling to the edge of the island in order to escape the Buster Call.

"It's a Buster Call!"

"Battleships are coming!"

"If we don't get moving, they're going to burn us to a crisp."

"Runaway!"

Chimney, meanwhile, had managed to get back outside and saw that the tower was not crooked.

"Look, it's all crooked," she said, looking at Paws. "Hey, where is everybody anyway? I was excited about showing them the secret passage."

She then looked over towards the island and could hear a lot of commotion, not aware that the Buster Call had been implemented.

"Sounds like they're having a party over there," she said.

"Chimney… Paws… there you are," said Coco. "What are you up to?"

"Oh, hey, granny," said Chimney looking at her and then rushed over to her. "Guess what? Guess what? We found a weird hole in the wall, and then we took the pirate guy there to check it out, and then he blew a hole through the door."

"He what?" Coco blinked.

Chimney nodded. "He went all kerplow!"

"Kerplow?"

"Right," said Chimney looking at Paws, who nodded.

"Wow, that's some story you got there," Coco laughed. "Well, I can't say that I quite understand, but I wait sounds like things are getting pretty crazy."

Fishlegs was in a bit of trouble; he was already barely able to stand thanks to Kala making his legs so slippery.

"It would seem we have finally reached the climax," said Kala blowing some bubbles. "I had better hurry; if I stay here, I could die as well."

"If you're going to run, then leave the key here with me," said Fishlegs.

"Shave!" Kala yelled and vanished. "You must forgive me, alas I fear the game must end now."

Fishlegs turned and found that she had appeared directly behind him and grabbed him.

"Hey, let me go!" he demanded.

Kala then began covering him with bubbles with the same techniques she used on his legs.

"At the very least, please accept this parting gift," she said. "Golden Bubbles!"

Fishlegs fell to the ground, his body now exactly the same as his legs, silky smooth and slippery. He was so slippery, in fact, that his gauntlets slipped off his hands.

Fishlegs attempted to get his gauntlets back on his wrists, but they kept on slipping and sliding. "I can't put on the Clima-Gauntlets." He then slipped off his feet and landed face-first on the ground. "I'm too slippery; I can't even stand up. What did you do to me?"

"I merely gave you a little extra shine, though there is one catch," said Kala as Fishlegs attempted to stand up. "You're already pathetic strength has been cut in half. I'd give up on the key if you."

Fishlegs then slipped, but he continued to try to stand. "Hey, right! You wish!"

While he was talking, he attempted to get his gauntlets back on his wrists and succeeded this time.

"Cool Charge!" Fishlegs yelled, creating a cloud of cold air around the entire room.

"Stop wasting my time; it's no use," Kala scoffed. "Tempest Kick!"

She then unleashed a slashing attack upon Fishlegs, which cut right through him. However, he then promptly vanished into thin air, much to her shock.

"I call it Mirage Tempo," Fishlegs explained behind her. "I'm over here, by the way."

"How dare you," Kala growled, turning on him. "Don't toy with me. Finger Pistol!"

She then promptly stabbed him with her finger, but that was a mirage as well.

"They're all fakes?" she said, looking around. "Where did you go?"

"I'm right here!"

At that point, the entire room shook, and breaking through the wall was Chopper, shocking the two of them.

"What is that?" Fishlegs stared.

"He turned into a monster?" Kala stared, thinking she was looking directly at Fishlegs. "So you have Devil Fruit powers as well, do you?"

'Not too bright, is she,' said Fishlegs.

Toothless and Snotlout were still fending off Silvernose and Jabez, who were now taking this seriously.

"Hurry before the Buster call starts!" said Silvernose.

"You don't have to tell me twice," said Jabez.

"Here they come," said Toothless.

"Tempest Kick!" Silvernose yelled.

"Finger Pistol!" Jabez yelled.

The two attacks were now coming straight towards them, but Toothless quickly swung his sword, reflecting the blows.

"You're going to have to do better than that," said Toothless.

"Don't encourage them!" Snotlout yelled.

"Tempest Kick!" Silvernose yelled.

"Finger Pistol!" Jabez yelled.

Toothless was going to deflect their attacks when he realised they were aiming for Snotlout and quickly pulled him out of the way. Snotlout watched as the attacks shot right past him and decimated the stones behind him.

Snotlout gulped at the rubble. "That was a little too close."

"We just have to hang on until Chopper gets back with the key," said Toothless.

"That swordsman is rather impressive, I hate to admit," said Silvernose. "He's been able to fend our attacks off while being handcuffed to some dead weight."

"Yeah, but how long can you keep it up," said Jabez. "They said he's only trying to buy time."

Toothless narrowed his eyes. 'I don't know. I can keep this up for long. Just where are you, Chopper?'

Chopper currently was going on a rampage in the bathroom.

"So you have Zoan type Devil Fruit powers, do you?" said Kala, still believing that she was facing Fishlegs.

"I told you that's not me!" Fishlegs yelled. He then looked at Chopper curiously. 'But this isn't some random monster, is it? Those are reindeer antlers, and I recognise that hat anywhere. But what happened? Is that giant thing really Chopper?'

Chopper then crushed the rubble with his hand to create a cloud of dust.

"If so, I've never seen a beast like this," said Kala.

Chopper then raised his fist, giving out a monstrous roar.

"Moonwalk!" Kala yelled, dodging his fist, which smashed right through the floor. Within seconds she was directly above him. "Tempest Kick!"

She then unleashed a slashing attack, but all she did was give him a slight cut on his face.

"Stop it!" Fishlegs yelled. "Leave him alone!"

Kala had landed on Chopper's shoulder quickly stared at him.

"Hey, Chopper!" said Fishlegs turning his sights on to Chopper. "It's you, isn't it? What's going on? Did you do this?"

Chopper merely roared and then swung his hand down towards him. He would have been crushed if he hadn't rolled out of the way in time, but the shockwave of the attack sent him flying across the floor.

"Maybe he just doesn't recognise me now," Fishlegs wondered. "I must look strange. You are Chopper, aren't you?"

Kala then landed on the ground and looked at him defensively. "I was kidding, right. I didn't actually think that you turned into that thing. Don't treat me like I'm a fool."

Fishlegs was a little bit more concerned about Chopper. "Chopper!"

Kala looked at him, infuriated. 'He ignored me, so rude.'

"Chopper, what's wrong with you?" Fishlegs yelled. "It's me, Fishlegs! Look!"

Chopper only responded by grabbing hold of the back and tearing it off the floor. This completely snapped the water pump creating a small geyser.

"Stop it!" Fishlegs yelled. "Why are you doing this?"

Chopper then tossed the bath right through the wall and began falling down to the bottom of the tower.

"Oh no," said Fishlegs. "Ruff and Tuff are down there."

"I don't know where that awful thing wandered in from, but I'll make it pay," Kala vowed.

"Don't you lay a finger on him!" Fishlegs yelled. "I won't let you hurt my friend!"

Chopper then responded by slamming both his hands towards them; thankfully, both of them were able to get out of the way in time. However, Chopper looked as if he was panting rather heavily, as if he was exhausted.

He then began crawling his way through the room and through the wall.

"What the heck happened to him?" said Fishlegs, now even more confused. "This isn't good; I need to find a way to stop him."

They could still hear Chopper's roars as he made his way into the tower.

"That thing is your friend?" said Kala adjusting herself down. "How amusing, you pirates keep strange company, don't you?"

Fishlegs crawled his way to the hole in the wall to look for Chopper.

"Chopper!" Fishlegs cried.

'He ignored me again; how rude can you get?' said Kala furiously. "I would love for you to take care of that monster for me, but I have been given to eliminate you, and time is running short. Tempest Kick!"

She then unleashed a slashing attack, and Fishlegs began to panic.

"Uh-oh, I don't think I can dodge while my legs are slippery like this!" he panicked as he tried to move.

Then to their surprise, Fishlegs was able to jump out of the way before the attack hit.

"I'm still okay?" said Fishlegs, confused. He then looked down and saw that his right leg was back to normal. "One of my legs is back to normal, but why? Did I miss something?" He then began to feel his leg and discovered that it was wet. 'It's wet; it must have happened when Chopper threw the bathtub. Wait, I get it; all I have to do is wash the soap off with water.'

He then turned his eyes to the water geyser that had erupted due to Chopper ripping the bathtub off. He then immediately made a run for the geyser, hoping to get all the soap off. However, Kala knew what he was planning and used the Shaved technique to get in front of him and kicked him across the face.

Fishlegs slid across the ground until he collided with the rubble.

"Let's not be hasty," said Kala. "Even if you can counter the effects of my Golden Bubbles with water, that does not mean I'm going to stand by and let you do it."

Fishlegs narrowed his eyes, and Kala began covering herself with bubbles.

"Sheep Cloud: Relaxing Bubble!" she yelled and launched all the bubbles towards Fishlegs.

"No problem, this is not a little wind can't fix," said Fishlegs. "Now Cyclone—" Unfortunately, before he could unleash his attack, one of his gauntlets slipped out of his hand. "Damnit!"

This left him completely vulnerable to the bubbles, and they began sapping his strength on the point of contact.

"Oh no, my strength is—"

He then toppled over, and Kala dashed towards him. "Supple Finger Pistol!"

"My gauntlet," said Fishlegs as he reached out his dropped gauntlet.

"Whip!" Kala yelled as her aunt began to twist and turn like a whip.

She then struck Fishlegs in the shoulder with her attack, but his soft silky skin was able to absorb the attack preventing it from puncturing his shoulder. It also had the side-effect of knocking off a few bubbles, but that didn't stop the force of the attack from sending him flying into a wardrobe.

"That was helpful," said Fishlegs breathing heavily.

"Helpful?" Kala frowned.

"If you blow me away with an attack like that, then those annoying bubbles of yours gets blown away too."

"Aren't you tough? Well, if you like, I'll blow you away until there's nothing left."

Fishlegs then got to his feet and put his gauntlets back on his wrist.

"The forecast is cloudy," said Fishlegs as he raised his hands into the air. "Cloudy Tempo!" Clouds and immediately shot out from his palm and began circling around the ceiling. "When Hiccup upgrades something, he really upgrades something."

"Clouds? Fighting with lightning again?" said Kala as the clouds began to form above her.

"These clouds aren't for lightning; they are way too thin for that," Fishlegs smiled. "This time, I have something else in mind."

Kala then realised what he was up to. "I see. Damn, I should have known!"

Fishlegs then began unleashing a great number of Cool Balls into the air. "The forecast is rain. Cool Ball!"

"Shave!" Kala yelled, vanishing.

Fishlegs quickly braced himself and used gauntlets to shield himself from Kala's kick before it hit.

"Poor Down! Rain Tempo!"

Rain then suddenly began raining down upon them when the water drops landed on Fishlegs began washing away the soap on his skin.

"And I work so hard, how rude to wash everything away," said Kala lowering her leg.

Fishlegs was now back to normal. "I'll do whatever it takes to help my friends. Cool Charge!" He then began waving his hand in front of him. "Mirage Tempo!"

He then vanished into thin air.

"He's gone!" Kala gasped.

"I've watched your every move, I know your strengths, and I know all your weaknesses as well," said Fishlegs' voice behind her. She quickly turned in her eyes widened as five identical Fishlegs appeared in thin air.

'W-what's happening?'

"Mirage Tempo:Fata Morgana!" said Fishlegs.

Meanwhile, Astrid was still battling against Lily, who now was starting to get serious.

"It would seem I'll have to end this rather quickly before we all get blown up to smithereens," she said.

"Getting ahead of ourselves our way?" said Astrid typing her grip. "You still haven't taken me down yet, and you're not going to."

"Please, I've already figured your way of fighting ages ago. I was merely playing you."

"We'll see about that!" said Astrid, immediately charged at her swinging her battleaxe.

"Paper Art!" said Lily dodging all the swings. "Now, Finger Pistol!"

She then thrust her finger towards Astrid, but she was able to dodge it just the nick of time and use the momentum to swing her axe once more.

"Iron Body!"

Astrid act made contact with Lily's body, but all she accomplished was pushing her back.

"There is no way you can get past my defence," said Lily.

"Oh, I'll find a way," Astrid promised.

"Let's see how you handle yourself with this Tiger Tempest!" Lily yelled and began spinning around like a top.

She then unleashed a Tempest kick, but it took the form of a tiger's mouth and headed straight towards her. Astrid quickly raised her gauntlet and braced herself as the attack struck. Her impact dial was able to absorb the kinetic energy from the attack.

However, Lily then appeared straight in front of her, no doubt using the Shave technique.

"Tiger Fury!" Lily yelled and began pummelling Astrid with quite a few powerful punches.

Astrid was completely knocked backwards and landed on the floor.

"That is a rather impressive defence, but as you can see, easily be broken," said Lily.

Astrid then started to rise though she looked as if she was going to follow but any moment. "But I'm not so easily broken. So long as I keep standing, I'm going to fight."

"You should do yourself a favour and stand down," said Lily clenching her fist. "However, if you insist on going on, then I'll just simply have to put you out of your misery."

Lily then charged at her once again, clenching her fists. "Tiger Fury!"

Astrid looked as if she was about to fall, but then at the last second, just as Lily swung her fist, she stood up straight.

Lily's eyes widened. 'She tricked me; this was all just a faint to lure me in.'

"Valkyrie Impact!" Astrid yelled, swinging her palm beneath Lily's guard towards her chest.

"Iron Body!" Lily yelled, hardening her body.

The moment Astrid's palm touched her body, the impact dial activated and sent enough force through Lily's body to penetrate the Iron Body. The impact was so powerful that she was sent flying into the wall and was knocked unconscious instantly.

Astrid smiled as she looked down at her body. "Looks like I just won this round."
