"Are you absolutely sure you're up to put this?" Astrid asked.

Jabez merely licked his lips and began howling.

"It's time to stop feeling sorry for myself and be a real man," said Snotlout clenching his fists.

"Shave!" said Jabez and vanished.

"Now get out of here!" Snotlout yelled.

Astrid nodded and looked at Fishlegs. "You heard the man, let's go."

"You sure you're all right to move?" Fishlegs asked.

"I'm fine, now come on!" said Astrid as they ran out of the room.

Snotlout stood there waiting for Jabez to reappear, and soon enough, he appeared right in front of him.

"Iron Body Advance! Wolf Repel!" Jabez yelled, swinging a fist towards Snotlout.

Snotlout countered this by swinging a fist of his own clashing against Jabez, but Jabez attack was too strong, sending him flying out of the garden.

"I thought you were supposed to be some kind of hunter, gets you really are nothing but talk," Jabez smiled and began making his way towards him.


At the same time, Ragnar was still battling against Gunner in the shooting gallery, and at the moment, they seemed to be evenly matched.

"It's been fun, but with the Buster Call coming, I'm afraid I'm going to have to end this, said Gunner.

"You been saying for the past five minutes, and yet I'm still here," said Ragnar.

"Not for much longer," said Gunner and then raised his hand, thrusting it towards Ragnar. "Finger Pistol: Five Stars!"

Gunner's speed suddenly increased, and before Ragnar had a chance to dodge the attack, he slammed all five of his fingers into Ragnar's chest. Ragnar suddenly found himself flying across the room, went straight through the door, and landed on the balcony just as Astrid and Fishlegs went past.

"Ragnar," said Astrid.

"Hey, guys," Ragnar winced.

"Well, looks like I found some more playmates," said Gunner as he stepped outside.

"Do you need help?" Fishlegs asked.

"No, you get out of here. I can handle this guy," said Ragnar.

Astrid then reached into her pocket and pulled out the transponder snail giving it to him. "When you do, make sure you have this no you, just in case."

"Okay, but get moving!" said Ragnar as he quickly pulled out his pistol and fired several shots at Gunner, who quickly used the Shaved technique to get out of the way.

Gunner then appeared next to him and dealt a powerful kick sending him flying to the next floor where Snotlout and Jabez were fighting.

"Looks like I've got some more prey to kill," Jabez smiled, licking his lips.

Snotlout then suddenly shot out of nowhere and punched him across the face slamming him into the wall. However, the attack merely dazed him, and he quickly got back onto his feet.

"Damn, direct hit," said Jabez rubbing his head.

Gunner then appeared on the railings out of thin air. "Perhaps you should be more focused on your target and allow me to deal with mine."

"Hey, you're the one who let him get away," Jabez growled.

"Who do you think sent him up here in the first place?" Gunner glared. "Now stop messing around and get to work, in case you forgot we got a Buster Call on the horizon."

He then quickly vanished to avoid a kick coming from Ragnar and then appeared next to him, pistol pointing at his head. Ragnar quickly leaned back in order to avoid the shot and spun around in midair, slamming him with a powerful kick. Gunner quickly blocked it, but the attack was strong enough to schism across the floor.

Jabez decided to turn his attention to Snotlout took up the same fighting stance you used on Astrid.

"Ten Finger Pistol!" he yelled, charging at him.

Snotlout quickly dodged it and then jumped behind him, clenching his fist. "Iron Hammer!"

"Iron Body!" Jabez yelled.

Snotlout used the momentum of his fall as well as his body weight to strengthen his fist and was able to break through his defence. Jabez actually fell to his knees, looking exhausted as he looked towards Snotlout.

"Do you really think that I felt that?" he said, but privately he was worried. 'This punk has got some serious punches; he's not the same guys earlier.'

"That technique you guys use to make your body a strong as iron," said Snotlout shaking his hand. "It's a real big pain in my ass."

"Tempest Kick: Long Wolf!" Jabez yelled, thrusting his leg forward.

His kick bounced across the floor like a pebble skipping across a pond, and Snotlout quickly jumped out of the way to avoid it.

"Hammer Blow!" he yelled, swinging his fists with incredible speed at Jabez.

Jabez found himself being pushed back with every single punch, and then Snotlout charged at him, clenching his fist.

"Iron Hammer!" he yelled.

"Iron Body Advance!" said Jabez.

Snotlout's fist made contact, and you found himself skidding across the ground, but he was able to withstand the attack.

"How many times do I have to tell you your punches do nothing to me!" Jabez yelled, charging at him.

He then struck Snotlout with his claws sending him crashing to the wall. "Now that's real power. That was my Iron Body Advance: Wolf Fang Stance. I am the only master of the Six Powers that can move around freely while using the Iron Body technique."

"You're telling me there's like I should care!" Snotlout yelled, charging at him once more. "Hammer Blow!"

He performed very quick blows sending Jabez crashing into the wall behind him, but he was starting to get exhausted.

"That should have done the trick, but he could be fake," said Snotlout noting that Jabez wasn't moving. "Izzy actually stained down?"

"Nicely done," said Jabez. "I've been waiting for a worthy opponent, and I finally found him." Then he tossed his key onto the ground. "Now, if you don't mind me asking a favour, save Heather for me."

"What?" Snotlout blinked. "What are you talking about?"

"Nobody knows this, but Heather is… this is difficult for me to say, but she's my long lost little sister."

"She's what?" Snotlout stared. "I-I had no idea; she never said anything about having an older brother before."

"I'm not surprised, but it's the truth," he said. "It's been more than 10 years since we were separated; I'll never forget that day. It happened on a small island in the West Blue; the weather was sunny and warm that day. Heather and I were having so much fun just spending the day together on the beach. My sister and I were the best of friends so naturally we always played together. We couldn't possibly be happier that day, but little did we know what was waiting for us.

I turned my back and looked away for one second when a pirate crew kidnapped my sister and took her for me. That was the last time I saw her. By the time she finally managed to escape from the pirates, she was already wanted by the law. I blame myself for all this, and that's why I'll do anything to make sure she is safe, but I can't help her now I'm not strong enough. So, please, I'm on my knees begging you, you have to save Heather."

"Sure, I can do that. Leave it to me," said Snotlout making his way over to the key. He then bent down and went to pick up the key. "I'll just bend down and pick up this key, and then I'll be off to save her."

Jabez smiled as he couldn't believe that he was falling for the same trick twice and then immediately pounced.

"You really think I would fall for the same trick twice?" said Snotlout clenching his fist and then striking a powerful uppercut.

The blow was so powerful that Jabez's head went straight through the ceiling and popped out on the next floor.

"I mean, Heather being your long lost little sister, you could have come up with a better lie than that," said Snotlout.


Spandam was still dragging Heather up the stairs, and it was quite exhausting.

"I've dragged you away from any help or hope, and yet you keep on trying to escape!" Spandam yelled in frustration. "You stupid, stupid, stupid woman! I am completely exhausted thanks to you, now get up and walk on your own, you cow! You are just determined to keep making me repeat this! There is an even microscopic residue of hope left for you!

Sure we might have heard what could have been a voice earlier, but I haven't seen anyone have you? If there was anyone back there, Lael is probably killing them right about now. Get it?" He then began to cackle but ended up coughing. "Look what you've done to me! I'm so exhausted I can't even cackle without coughing! You stupid, stupid, stupid woman! You're ruining everything!"


Hiccup was still battling against Lael, but everything was completely one-sided as he was quite exhausted while Lael hand even broke a sweat.

"Hasn't it sunk in yet, you can fight as hard as you possibly can, but I am not going to let you through those doors," said Lael.

"No, you're wrong," Hiccup glared. "Because no matter how hard you fight, I am still going to get past you."

"I doubt we'll ever agree on this, so there's no sense in us discussing it."

"And I don't have time for talking anyway!" Hiccup yelled and charged at him. "Dragon Combat!" He then quickly moved in, swinging his fist at lightning speed, but Lael dodged them all. "Talon!" Hiccup swung a powerful kick and Lael, but he blocked it. "Whip!" He quickly swung his tail, but Lael used the shaved technique to disappear before it made contact. "Fist!"

He flew up towards Lael, swinging his fist, but he was able to dodge it and slammed a powerful fist into his chest. Hiccup suddenly found himself falling before hitting the floor hard, and Lael landed perfectly on the ground.

Hiccup picked himself up and glared at him.


At the same time, Jabez fell back down towards the ground with a head-splitting headache. Then just as he cleared out the spots in his eyes, he saw Snotlout tossing the key in his hand.

"Am I finally starting making an impression on you, Wolf?" Snotlout smirked.

"Hey, that's my key!" Jabez yelled.

"Well, yeah, you did give it to me," Snotlout reminded him.

"You bastard," Jabez growled.

"Still want to fight, huh?"

"Iron Body Advance!" said Jabez hardening his body.

Snotlout just stood there, narrowing his eyes. The two of them began sizing each other up.

"Later," said Snotlout and ran off.

"Get back here!" Jabez yelled. "The one who is about to trick people around here, damnit! How dare you mock me and steal my gimmick!"


Upon the next floor, Ragnar and Gunner were still fighting. They were now running across the railings shooting at one another, but their bullets ended up colliding with one another.

"This is getting tiresome," said Gunner and then began rocketing into the air with incredible speed. "Moonwalk!"

Ragnar then quickly began firing several shots, but Gunner was able to avoid them all and then managed to get behind him.

"Swan Swoop!" he said and added a powerful kick into Ragnar's chest, sending him flying to the other side of the tower. "I told you that I was done dragging this out. Moonwalk!"

Ragnar was now sawing places he didn't know he had and noticed that Gunner was now flying towards him.

"Tempest Kick: Swan Dance!" said Gunner and began spinning around with incredible speed unleashing a series of slashing attacks, and all of them hit Ragnar.

Gunner then ran it on the railing in front of Ragnar. "You put up a good fight, but it wasn't quite good enough."

"It's not over," said Ragnar as he got to his feet, clutching his arm.

"It would seem as if you still have some fight left, but it doesn't look like you can put up much of a fight," Gunner noted.

"Looks can be deceiving; I'm gonna stop at nothing until I save Heather and make you pay."

"Upset about the way we treated Heather, are we?" Gunner assumed. "Getting all emotional will only cloud your mind during a fight. By now, she's probably reached the Gates of Justice. You would do better to think of a way to get out of here alive."

"And what is the point of living without her?" Ragnar asked.

"You have feelings for her, that unfortunate," said Gunner. "I admire your bravado, but it's pretty obvious how badly injured you are. But as a courtesy, I'll put you out of your misery as painless as possible. Death Swan!"

Then before Ragnar had a chance to move, he was struck with a powerful kick, using both feet, knocking him back. However, Ragnar merely jumped back onto his feet with a more determined look than ever.

"You can knock me down all you want, but I'll keep getting up," said Ragnar and then suddenly, he began spinning like a top.

"I don't understand what you're trying to do," said Gunner looking confused. "How is spinning like a top going to stop me?"

Ragnar then came to a sudden stop, and Gunner's eyes widened when he noticed that his right leg was blowing as if it was on fire.

"What happened? Why is his blood all red like that?"

"This is the foot of the devil," said Ragnar. "El Diablo Inferno! The heat that I generated from all that spinning will burn my kicks straight through you."

Then to prove his point, he immediately thrust his leg towards Gunner.

"Iron Body!" Gunner yelled.

Ragnar then kicked him in the chest, but this time Gunner could actually feel the blow. Additionally, he could feel the heat generating from it was immense, and he began screaming in pain as if his entire body was on fire.

'It burns!' he yelled.

"The heat of its destructive power burns hotter than the flames of hell," said Ragnar.

Gunner then suddenly found himself flying across the tower to the other side before finally coming to a stop by crashing into the wall. He then winced in pain as he could still feel the burn mark that Ragnar had left on his chest.

"It feels like my bones are on fire," he winced. "The Iron Body doesn't protect us from the elements; he actually found a way to injure us."

Ragnar then immediately jumped off of the terrace and headed straight towards him.

"What a foolish thing to do, you don't jump into the air while fighting a Six Powers Master," said Gunner and then used his Moonwalk technique.

"El Diablo Inferno: Red Death Kick!" Ragnar yelled, thrusting his leg forward.

However, Gunner used the Moonwalk to get above him both to avoid the attack and attack him from above.

"You're doing so well until now," said Gunner. "You were in such a hurry to end this, but you got sloppy, and now it's time for me to end this. Five Star Finger Pistol!"

He then used the Moonwalk to gain some extra speed as he rushed down towards Ragnar and then plunged his five fingers into his chest.

"A shame that your kick did not land in time; you could knock my hand away and prevented my Finger Pistol from hitting you," he said.

"Well, I had no choice," Ragnar smiled. "I had to get you close enough to finish you off with my last kick."

Then out of the corner of his eye, Gunner saw Ragnar was swinging his blazing kick towards him. He had been tricked; Ragnar had drawn him in closer so you would be able to avoid his next attack.

"El Diablo Inferno: Red Death Kick!" Ragnar yelled.

Gunner could help but smile at him. "Well done."

Ragnar then struck him in the face as hard as possible and sent him flying down towards the base of the tower. Ragnar landed perfectly on the ground and grabbed Gunner's Stetson, which had been blown off.

"I told you, I'm not going to stop and rescue Heather," said Ragnar as his foot returned to normal anyplace, the Stetson on his head. "And if you think that kick was heart, my heart was burning even hotter."
