Jango just stood there completely stunned, because Hiccup, Toothless and Astrid had single-handedly stopped his men. They were right now back where they started and Hagen was no doubt getting annoyed of their tardiness.

Snotlout couldn't believe his eyes. "That was amazing. You guys are really that strong?"

Hiccup just stood there. "It would seem as if our arrival was quite timely, a minute later and they put we would have stormed the village."

Jango just stood there. "The sun rises high in the sky now and that means Captain Hagen his no doubt getting impatient." He then looked at his men that were lying down on the ground. "Men, do not just lie there you can't tell me that you're going to let them win! They're just a couple of kids."

One by one the pirates immediately got back onto their feet, they will they were bit battered and bruised.

"The fact is we do not have time to lorry gagging here any longer," said Jango as he pulled out his ring. "If our enemy is strong then we must become stronger than them."

He then immediately waved the ring in front of his men. "Here stared deeply into this ring." His men immediately began watching the ring as it moved. "Now by the count of Jango and after that you all begin to grow stronger, your wounds will heal and you will grow stronger still."

"Looks like he's trying to hypnotise his own men," Hiccup noted.

"Looks like he's trying to convince them that there stronger than they are, but I don't see how that is possible," said Fishlegs.

"Stronger! Stronger!" Jango yelled. "One, two, Jango!"

Immediately his men cheered and judging from the way they were moving they certainly felt as if they were stronger.

"I don't believe it, it worked?" Fishlegs stared.

To demonstrate one of the pirates immediately slammed his hand against the cliff which immediately began to crumble. All the pirates then immediately began shearing like wild animals.

"That one guy completely destroyed the cliff," said Toothless stunned.

"That's what I call power," said Astrid.

"But I for that hypnosis had no physical effect on its victims?" said Fishlegs shaking his head in confusion.

"That was just one of them, imagine what the entire crew can do," said Snotlout.

"Now go and strike down all that stands in your way!" Jango commanded.

The entire crew cheered and then began to run up the slope with new enthusiasm.

"You guys might want to move," Toothless advised looking at Snotlout and Fishlegs. "The rest of us will take it from here."

Hiccup then stepped forward. "No point wasting all of our efforts, I'll handle this myself."

Hiccup then immediately charged at the pirates much to their astonishment.

"He's thinking taking them all by himself is he?" Fishlegs stared.

Hiccup then immediately began to transform into his dragon human form and as quick as a flash he began swinging his fists at the pirates knocking them right off their feet. His fists were moving so fast that they look like a blur and Hiccup then quickly reverted back to his human form before they knew what hit them.

Jango just stared at his men that had fallen over like dominoes. "Damn, you Captain Hagen, you made one hell of a miscalculation. These are not your average children playing pirate."

The pirates picked themselves up and looked at Hiccup, who merely stood there. He then immediately charged at them and they immediately ran off panicking and soon he was charging towards Jango. Jango thought he was going after him and closed his eyes, but Hiccup ran past him much to everyone's surprise.

"What's he doing?" Astrid frowned.

"Looks like he's heading to the ship," said Toothless confused.

Hiccup then immediately grabbed hold of the bow and pulled with all his might.

"What is he doing?" said a pirate.

Hiccup kept on pulling at the bow and with incredible strength he was beginning to tear it off.

Astrid smiled. "Now I know what he's doing, he's trying to prevent their escape."

The pirates immediately panicked.

"He's going to destroy our ship!"

With one final pull, Hiccup tore the bow right off the ship and then immediately turned towards the pirates menacingly.

"Oh no," said a pirate quivering.

"He's going to crush us with it! Everybody run!"

The pirates then immediately got to their feet and ran up the slope as quickly as they could, everyone apart from Jango.

"Captain, do something?" a pirate pleaded.

Hiccup then began to make his way over towards him and Jango quickly pulled out his ring. "One, two, Jango, you will fall asleep," he said quickly. "One, two, Jango!"

Hiccup then suddenly came to a stop and fell asleep, but as a result of the bow fell out of his hand and landed right on top of the pirates. Unfortunately for then they managed to jump out of the way in time, though they were battered and bruised.


Meanwhile Onion was telling Carrot and Pepper what he saw earlier that day.

"What? You saw Hagen heading down to the shore?" Carrot blinked.

"Yeah, and he had this weird scary look on his face," Onion nodded.

"What about, Kaia? Is she okay?" Pepper asked.

"We'll find out, the Snotlout Pirates are off!" Onion announced.

"Don't you think it's way too early for this?" Carrot asked.

"This isn't any time for laziness, or both things could be happening right now," said Onion stubbornly. They then immediately began running down towards the mansion as quickly as they could. "I still think the pirates are going to attack soon, I know our Captain said that was a lie, but I think he was the one that was lying."

Carrot nodded in agreement. "Yeah, you're probably right."

"He did seem off yesterday, the Captain wasn't his usual self" Pepper agreed.

Eventually they reached the mansion, but the gates were completely locked so they made their way towards the hedge. As they ran they saw Kaia's window was wide open but there was no sign of her.

"Where is she?" Onion asked worriedly.

They quickly made their way to the hedge block that they used to sneak in before. However it was completely fastened to the hedge.

"Captain Snotlout always came through here," said Onion as they heaved.

"It's useless, the thing is stuck" Pepper sighed.

"Let's find another way," said Carrot.


Kaia was still sleeping in her bed and had a whole nightmare of Snotlout plunging a sword right through her. She immediately woke up with a start and took in several deep breath until she realised that it had just been a horrible dream.

She then coughed and got out of bed, she then made her way over to the dining room. Hagen was usually their setting up the table at this time of day.

"Hagan!" said Kaia knocking at the door however no one answered. "Hagan, you there?" When no one answered she immediately opened the door and to her horror she found Major line there in a pool of his own blood.

"No, Major!" Kaia cried and rushed over to him. She then began to shake him, hoping that he was still alive. "Major what happened to you? Please wake up, Major. Please don't die."

Major then groaned and turned his head to look at her. "Thank goodness, you're still alive. I was worried."

"Major," said Kaia relieved.

Major then attempted to get up, but he was far too injured and fell down on his back.

"You have to tell me who did this to you," Kaia pleaded.

Major looked at her with tears in his eyes. "Hagan, that's who. He attacked me."

Kaia's eyes widened in horror.

"He's a—he's a pirate, he's never been anything else," he said as he cried.

Kaia couldn't believe her ears. "But how could that be?"

"He got close to you just so that he could steal your fortune, that's all he ever wanted."

"It can't be. No, you're lying!"

"I'm telling you the absolute truth!"

Kaia just knelt there completely speechless, Snotlout had been telling the truth the entire time. "So, what Snotlout spoke of about yesterday was the truth?"

Major nodded regretfully. "That's right and that is what is most tragic. When he learned the truth, he tried his hardest to get us to hear him out, but we were all just too shallow minded to confident in our closed off world we lived in for so long to listen to a single word he said. In our blind protection of the villain of our midst, we drove away the one brave lad whose desperate resolve he enacted into the safety of every person in this village including you and I."

Major then coughed and spat out some blood.

Kaia then immediately turned towards the door. "Anyone, please help! Major, needs help!"

Major shook his head. "No, Miss. It's no use." He said as he leaned against the wall. "The entire staff is on leave, no one has been here since yesterday."

Kaia stared at him. "What? Then I'll just find—"

"You cannot let yourself get flustered, Miss," Major pleaded. "We know the attack has yet to begin so be calm and think carefully of what it is you have to do next. Because if Hagan is the thief we understand him to be and his goal is your fortune and your mansion then by all means let him have it. None of this is worth sacrificing your life over."

Kaia brushed the tears out of her eyes. "Yes."

"It's a cruel truth, but you are the only one that can stop Hagan now Kaia." He then looked at her straight in the eyes. "Can you do it? I know that this is not your burden, but still must ask."

Kaia nodded. "Yes, I understand and I will do it. This is it a situation that I can run away from, I know what consequences I face. I will find Hagan and I will finish this."


Meanwhile the three boys were attempting to crime over the fence, but they were far too small and kept on sliding of the poles.

"What are you doing up there?" said Carrot as Onion slid down the poles once again. "You have to hold on tight idiot."

"But the poles are slippery and my hands are sweaty," he said.

"Who cares, we still have to get over it. Aren't you worried about, Kaia?"

Then they noticed that the door the mansion opening.

"Oh no, someone is coming out," said Onion.

The three of them immediately bent down so they wouldn't be seen and then they saw Kaia emerge from the mansion wearing her jacket.

"It's Kaia, she's all right," said Pepper looking relieved.

Kaia wasn't feeling her best as she made her way towards the gates and the three of them immediately snuck towards the gate. It opened and they watched Kaia exiting the mansion and they noticed that she was looking a bit down.

"Looks like something has got really bothered," Carrot noted.

"Yeah, walking around outside by herself doesn't seem right," Pepper agreed.

"Something is going on. Something really weird" Onion concluded.


Meanwhile at the coast, Jango and his pirates were recovering from Hiccup little display of power. Hiccup was now fast asleep on the dirt, but he had done enough damage to their ship preventing them from sailing.

Fishlegs lifted Snotlout onto his shoulders and they joined Astrid and Toothless as they looked down at the slope.

"Are those guys down for the count, don't you think?" Fishlegs asked looking slightly nervous.

"It looks like it," said Toothless.

"Maybe, but Hiccup is still sleeping at the shore," Astrid reminded.

"I wouldn't worry about him," said Toothless and then he immediately looked at Snotlout. "Snotlout's injuries are a bit more severe."

Jango rubbed his head as he got to his feet. "Damn that runt, now our entire plan has been shot to hell. What am I going to do with this mess? Once Captain Hagen sees this, he'll kill us."

"Babak, come and have a look at this," said a voice from the ship. "There's some bad stuff going down."

"What the Hell," said a second voice.

Jango immediately relaxed as he turned towards the ship. "I forgot we still had our trump card. Come forth, Meowban Brothers!"

Then suddenly jumping off the ship and landed on the bow were two figures, one was a sleazy tall looking man wearing gloves with sharp claws. The other was a much larger man, who was completely shirtless but was wearing the same type of gloves as the other.

"Yes, Captain, did you call for us?" said the sleazy man.

"Well, did you?" said the larger man.

"Sami."

"And Babak."

"Together we are the Meowban Brothers, at your service," they said in unison.

Astrid and the others just stared at them down from the slope.

The Meowban Brothers immediately jumped off the broken bow.

"Sami. Babak. We must absolutely get up this hill, but as you can plainly see our path is blocked," Jango instructed. He then immediately looked up and Astrid and the others. "If you would be so kind as to remove these two obstacles, immediately."

The Meowban Brothers looked up above Astrid and Toothless and immediately faulted upon their intimidating glare.

"No way, we couldn't do that," said Sami quickly. "They look too strong. Right, Babak?"

Babak nodded. "Yeah, they're strong ways stronger than us."

Astrid and the others just blinked at the Meowban Brothers and apparently a single brink was all it took to cause them to quiver.

"Besides we just guard the ship, not fight people," Sami reminded.

"He's got a point, we're not the type of guys you want to send into battle," Babak nodded.

Snotlout blinked. "So they're just a couple of pansies? I guess they're not the trump card after all."

Jango turned his back on them. "Just do it already."

Sami panicked. "Please don't."

"We beg you," Babak pleaded.

Jango looked at them furiously. "And hurry!"

"Okay, we'll go, just stop yelling" Sami quivered.

"I was not expecting them to give in just like that," Fishlegs blinked. They then watched as Sami and Babak ran up the hill crying his eyes out. "Why of all people are they sending them out into a fight?"

"We're going to tell you up with these claws!" Sami yelled.

"We're vicious killing machines!" Babak roared.

Astrid looked at Toothless. "So do we fight them?"

Toothless drew his swords. "But try and intimidate them." He then immediately looked down at the two of them. "You to come any closer and we'll cut you in half!" They just kept on running. "We're not joking, we'll do it!"

The two of them kept on screaming, but then they stopped and looked at the two of them seriously.

"Not likely," said Sami.

"Time for you two to die," Babak smiled viciously.

Then immediately they raise their claws and swung them directly at the two of them. Fortunately both Astrid and Toothless raise their weapons in time before they got skewered.

"It would seem as if the two of you have fallen for our little ruse," Sami smiled.

"A mistake that will cost you your lives," Babak added.

Then suddenly the two of them vanished and they were treated to a safe distance.

"Though I am impressed that the two of you were able to block our attacks considering the brilliant performance we made," said Sami.

"But you really shouldn't underestimate us," Babak smirked.

Toothless then noticed that Sami had taken two of his swords.

Sami smirked. "Are you missing something? Not that I would know anything about it."

Toothless narrowed his eyes. "Give me back my swords."

"Your swords? But you already have a sword how greedy can you be?" Sami mocked and immediately pulled out Toothless swords. "Say goodbye to your swords."

He then immediately tossed them behind him which annoyed Toothless deeply. Babak then immediately jumped at him when his guard was down, but Astrid quickly blocked his attack with her axe.

"Go I've got him," she said.

Toothless nodded. "Thanks." He then immediately dashed towards Sami and raised his sword. "You should take care of other people's things!"

He then immediately sliced right through Sami and then made a mad dash to his swords, but somehow Sami managed to avoid his attack and was now directly on top of him.

"You really have to be faster, because I'm as agile as a cat," he said as he grabbed his arms and as a result plummeted him into the ground. He then immediately turned to Babak. "Stop playing around with that girl, because I need you here."

Babak smiled and then immediately disengaged from Astrid. "On my way."

He then jumped high into the air and then pointed his foot right down on top of Toothless, but at the last second Astrid slammed the flat of her blade against Sami pushing him off of Toothless freeing him. Toothless then quickly rolled out of the way just before the attack struck him.

"Damn, they got away," Sami snarled.

Babak looked at him. "This will happen if you allow me to finish the girl off."

"Clearly the two of them I extremely strong, especially the drake even though I took all his blades," said Sami.

Toothless looked at Astrid. "I owe you one."

"No problem, but we got a big problem," said Astrid as she looked at the Meowban Brothers. "These two are strong, that attack had hit you, you would have been done for."

"We'll get them for sure this time," said Sami as he raised his claws.

"You got that right," said Babak as he did the same.

Toothless got to his feet. "One sword technique is not really my forte, but I don't have much of a choice."

Astrid smiled as she held her axe firmly in hand. "I'm with you all the way."

Sami and Babak just smiled at the two of them gleefully.

"Let's go, Babak!" said Sami.

"Right, Sami! Let's do it!" Babak yelled.

Immediately the two of them jumped and began swinging their claws at Astrid and Toothless. Immediately the two of them began blocking their attacks with their weapons, but it was very hard for Toothless, who was use of blocking attacks with at least two swords.

"This doesn't look good, they have them on the defensive," said Fishlegs.

Snotlout got up and cracked his knuckles. "Should I go in there and knock a few heads?"

"You stay exactly where you are!" Astrid yelled as she began to hold Babak at bay.

"They're too much for you!" Snotlout yelled.

Toothless looked at him with the corner of his eye. "This is our fight, we do not need you to interfere!"

Fishlegs placed a hand on Snotlout's shoulder. "It might be best that we just observe, we would only get in the way. Besides you're still recovering."

Snotlout grumbled. "Fine."

Fishlegs then looked at Toothless' discarded swords. "I'm going to get the swords. If I can get them back to Toothless then they can go on the attack."

"Let me do that," said Snotlout.

Fishlegs shook his head. "You shouldn't push yourself, you can barely stand up on your own."

He then immediately jumped down onto the slope and quickly made a mad dash to Toothless' swords. Jango knew what he was up to and immediately pulled out his rings, then just as Fishlegs placed a hand on one of the swords, he placed his foot on it. Next thing Fishlegs realise with a very sharp pain in his shoulder as Jango had slashed at Fishlegs with his razor sharp rings.

"What do you need swords for?" he scoffed.

He then looked up and immediately screamed, because standing there on top of the slope was Hagen and he was looking very annoyed and angry. Sami and Babak had stopped their attack when they realised that Hagen was standing there, even Astrid and Toothless looked up at him.

"No," Jango quivered. "I'm sorry, I can explain all of this."

Hagen adjusted his glasses and look at the carnage before him. "The night has long since passed. So why is it that you seem to have made no progress on the plan?"

The pirates at the bottom of the slope immediately panicked upon seen him.

"Captain Hagen, no!"

"He'll… he'll kill us all!"

Snotlout just shook his head. "It's all over."

He may very well be right, because he was no fighting condition, Fishlegs was badly wounded and Hiccup was fast asleep. To make matters worse Toothless only had one sword which meant that Astrid was the only person still capable of fighting to have fullest extent.

"What the Hell is going on?" Hagen roared.
